Forgive me for asking the obvious, but why on Earth do
we want to be
able to insert HTML comments? Comments are used in markup/programming
languages, and are for the benefit of those who edit the code
subsequently. Of course, nobody edits the parsed HTML, at least not
directly, so it doesn't make much sense to put comments in there.
Step back from implementation, and first ask "What's the use case?"
Without a use case, you can't hope to think of a sensible
implementation, because so much of implementation depends on how the
feature is to be used.
The one case I might think of is microformats that make use of
comments... but that's bad practice, since parsers can legitimately
strip comments. :D
