Yes, but comments are for comments and not code. If we start putting comments in to a script/markup that start to look like code to another piece of software we'll have to stop using comments. Just another piece of Microsoft stupidity to break the distinction between code and comments.
e.g <!-- start navigation -->
What happens if a browser comes along that sees that as code and runs something?
Satay is still the cleanest way to do it - should always attempt to modularise a Flash movie anyway.

An interesting point of view. I have used Satay, JavaScript, and Ian Hickson's new method. I prefer the latter because it eliminates the need for an extra SWF, as well as some of the problems detailed in the extensive discussion <http://www.alistapart.com/discuss/flashsatay/1/> that followed.
