I would rather argue that since we have editors with syntax highlighting, this isn't a big problem. The editor will tell you (if the highlighting is implemented correctly) that --> does not start a comment. Rather than changing the language we should fix the highlighting modes for the editors in question.
Except that there is a good reason (pos two) why the language is wrong - it's inconsistant with the other comment syntax, and it's confusing to newbies. Bob
