That's also what I remember.

But only within the DTD definition, so in practice I think it means it's
not a comment in SGML files.

Confusing is a pretty good description. From where I stand, I think we
simply shouldn't bother to try and handle "--" specially. At least not
before someone comes with a concrete use-case.
