Just because some broken retarded "feature" has been officially
codified = doesn't mean it should be used by mainstream apps.  Broken and
retarded = aren't negative traits that are magically rehabilitated by
codification. =
 A turd with the UL seal of approval on it is still a turd.

The app writers should use a bit of common sense and say to themselves, =
"gee, this is a real grody kind a thing, lets stay away from
this". =20

     Believe what you wish but this mechanism is codifiled in the HTML =
standard.  Comments allow for constructs that are to be ignored by =
implementations that don't support them.  If you think that backward =
compatibility is stupid, so be it.
