I don't think the issue is really whether they *should* be used or not, because the technique is still used. Case in point... I JUST encountered this error, and it was because I'm using ASP.NET... and ASP.NET uses this type of comment markup around the JavaScript that they output to the page. One caveat though... I only got this error in IE 6 - I'm didn't test IE 7, so I don't know if it's a issue there. Firefox worked fine.
