What does this mean exactly? Use, don't use, pair, spaces,
schmaces... It's simple enough: if Korpela says something
narrowly specialised, it is likely to be right. I can't ask him
of course because we don't click it off down to the DNA level,
but I take it don't use "--" with spaces on either side is what
is meant /within/ an intended comment ie. "<!-- " and " -->"
My brain hurts, rf... :)

My iCab scowls badly and does not like this... but does not
actually do anything about it. But that maybe because it is a
simple test with just your sentence...
