This has two benefits:
1) Previously non-conforming syntax won't be made conforming, so
pedantic HTML 4 implementations won't break with conforming HTML5
comments.
2) Conforming HTML5 documents can be serialized as conforming
XHTML5 document without data loss even when preserving comments.
(Strictly speaking in XML processing it is legitimate to drop
comments in the bit bucket, so in that sense, dropping comments would
not be *significant* data loss. :-)
