I'd like to use html comment into raw wiki text, to use them as effective, server-unexpensive "data containers" that could be read and parsed by a js script in view mode. But I see that html comment, written into raw wiki text, are stripped away by parsing routines. I can access to raw code of current page in view mode by js with a index.php or an api.php call, and I do, but this is much more server-expensive IMHO.
Is there any sound reason to strip html comments away? If there is no sound reason, could such a stripping be avoided?
