The relevant line is
<! RCS id: $Id: tidy_comment_test.html,v 1.5 1999/05/21 16:01:18 lars Exp $>
And yes, Tidy removes it. I don't think we should change anything to
allow this construct, you could rather use a processing instruction,
i.e.
<? RCS id: $Id: tidy_comment_test.html,v 1.5 1999/05/21 16:01:18 lars Exp $>
or a real comment
<!-- RCS id: $Id: tidy_comment_test.html,v 1.5 1999/05/21 16:01:18 lars Exp $-->
That'd be more appropriate.
