Browser vendors have been pulling tricks like this forever. Remember when the <script> tag was allowed (indeed, *supposed to*) appear within <!-- --> comments, so that browsers that did not support scripting wouldn't trip over it? At least in that case, they were using a hack to try to avoid causing problems that their un-standardized extension was creating. J.Ja
