Ignoring what is a conforming comment, is it safe to assume that comments 
should now be parsed roughly the same way as IE6 parses comments? I believe 
that other browsers parse comments as IE6 does in their quirks mode, so they 
could just use their quirks comment parsing code for standards mode aswell.
