--- Comment #6 from Arron Eicholz <arronei@microsoft.com> ---
HTML5.1 Bugzilla Bug Triage: This is invalid for HTML. The minifiers are
external tools able to reduce and remove any content they deem necessary. They
do this to provide the smallest code possible for transmission while also
providing the same functionality. Since comments of any kind do not provide any
functional behavior, minifiers strip out any characters that it deems a common
pattern of characters that provide no functional use. I would think comments of
any format (current or some new format) would in time be stripped out by
minifiers since they provide no functional value.

If this resolution is not satisfactory, please copy the relevant bug
details/proposal into a new issue at the W3C HTML5 Issue tracker:
https://github.com/w3c/html/issues/new where it will be re-triaged. Thanks!
