Minifying removes comments some of which should, however, stay in place for the
benefit of website visitors. We need a comment format that minifiers will
recognize for preserving selected comments. For example, I use comments for
information that is not important enough to display on a Web page but should be
available to someone willing to look in the source code (to which the Web page
as displayed might refer the visitor), such as legal information. An example of
that is humanly readable copyright information that applies only to the source
code and not to the displayed content (object code) itself. Another example is
when a meta tag cannot be correctly understood without a comment.
