Talk pages are for comments /about the article/. HTML comments in the source text are for comments /about the source text/ that don't relate to the article. Most people aren't programmers, and so will have no concepts matching the latter; that's OK, they'll never use them. But they are vital to those of us who /do/ understand the difference, and their existence doesn't make the experience for non-techies any more difficult.
Stop the presses! If we do decide to encourage HTML comments then please fix an annoying bug that I've seen in Konqueror 3.1.3 and Mozilla 1.1: for every line of comments a line of leading white space is added. See http://www.wikipedia.org/upload/2/2c/Maveric149-temp.png
