Peter, Simon,

You both have convinced me that HTML comments could be fine for explaining what 
a test is testing. Maybe we could come up with a format that makes it likely 
we’ll spot those comments.

The success vs. failure aspects can probably be addressed by the “see no red” 
and other such things.
