Maybe I'm missing the idea here, but from the viewpoint that this >The 
string '--' cannot appear in a comment.  Otherwise, the document will
not be well-formed:

Yes but what is the 'REASONING' as to why this was chosen to be the case.

XML, like HTML, is a restricted subset of SGML.
I am guessing that in SGML a bare "--" can be considered markup.
