Those fake HTML comment lines ("<!--", "-->") are completely
superfluous. They haven't been needed for about 10 years or so
(even since Netscape 1 and Mosaic dissappeared).

But people are still religiously putting them in their code,
wasting propably terabytes of useless characters every year.

Why?
