I'm not sure about this, is the disadvantage of the ?- also out of date?
There's some FIXME on the "--" rule of sgml-syntax-propertize-rules,
-;; As long as Emacs's syntax can't be complemented with predicates to context
-;; sensitively confirm the syntax of characters, we have to live with this
-;; kludgy kind of tradeoff.
(defvar sgml-specials '(?\" ?\')
"List of characters that have a special meaning for SGML mode.
This list is used when first loading the `sgml-mode' library.
-The supported characters and potential disadvantages are:
-
- ?\\\" Makes \" in text start a string.
- ?\\=' Makes \\=' in text start a string.
- ?- Makes -- in text start a comment.
-
-When only one of ?\\\" or ?\\=' are included, \"\\='\" or \\='\"\\=', as can be found in
-DTDs, start a string. To partially avoid this problem this also makes these
-self insert as named entities depending on `sgml-quick-keys'.
+The supported characters are ?\\\", ?\\=', and ?-.
Including ?- has the problem of affecting dashes that have nothing to do
with comments, so we normally turn it off.")
