Comment:

 In [changeset:"55668" 55668]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="55668"
 HTML API: Add support for a few invalid HTML comment forms.

  - Comments created by means of a tag closer with an invalid tag name,
 e.g. `</3>`.
  - Comments closed with the invalid `--!>` closer. (Comments should be
 closed by `-->` but if the `!` appears it will also close it, in error.)
  - Empty tag name elements, which are technically skipped over and aren't
 comments, e.g. `</>`.

 Props dmsnell, costdev.
 Merges [55667] to the 6.2 branch.
 Fixes #58007.
