When parsing the document below using sgmllib:

<html>
<!-BAD COMMENT->hello
</html>

The incorrect declaration is returned with hello as one 
single character data:

  "<!-BAD COMMENT->hello"

markupbase should have treated it as an error (to be 
consistent with it strict treatment in _scan_name).

I believe the line 73 of markupbase.py should be

        if rawdata[j:j+2] in ("-", ""):

intead of 

        if rawdata[j:j+1] in ("-", ""):

Also note that the condition in line 79 will not be true

    if rawdata[j:j+1] == '--'

To clarify the syndrome, actually everything after the <!- is 
returned as a single character data:

"<!-BAD COMMENT->hello\r\n</html>"

This means all the tags like </html> are not parsed as tags but 
as character data as soon as there is a <!-. That's why I think 
it is significant bug to report.
