I have been plucking a site and noticed that one of his links was bad ("not found" error when plucking) so I reported it to him. He said he had commented out that bad link months ago but removed it so I wouldn't see the error any more. Is plucker smart enough to figure out it is inside an html comment and just throw that content away without consideration? If so, there is a bug; if not, there is a hole! Let me know if you need more info and I'm sure I can have the guy put the html back the way it was. This is a big problem because it may download an entire web page that it shouldn't and seriously bloat the page. The only reason I noticed it is because the commented out link happens to also be a bad link. Some of you/us may be lugging around severely bloated PDBs without any knowledge that inaccessible content is attached!
