OK, I've tried to stay out of this. I would obviously prefer to deal with
the standard. However, there's enough non-standard content out there that
needs to be acceptible.
*However* I don't see your "compromise" about whitespace as anything of the
sort. How is it a compromise? Who was talking about whitespace anyway? I
thought your question was about:
<!-- Comment ---->
In that case, it seems like a reasonable request to allow it.
