HTML strip <!--

[John Rudd]

I think the reason would be:

If you're wanting to strip HTML, then what you want to be left with is
plain text, basically.  If you still have the comment tags, it's not
really pain text, it's HTML with fewer tags (which is still an HTML
document).  That presents a logical contradiction: message minus html
!= html with fewer tags.

"Strip html" implies that the result should be without tags ... that
would imply to me that comment tags should be included in that "without
tags" part.
