Interesting! I've never thought about using actual mark-up inside
comments like that.

Now how do I reliably make use of the marked-up contents inside such a
comment, e.g. using an XSLT stylesheet? Can I change the actual
contents of the page based upon info inside the comment? Keep in mind
that XML parsers are entitled to discard all comments.
Using comment attributes it would be quite easy to e.g. with XSLT
discard all img elements that has a certain value for the comment
attribute. How would I do that with your kind of comments?
