 Unfortunately we have not yet reached a unanimous decision on whether to
 allow HTML inside of shortcodes, and if we do, we cannot process HTML
 comment syntax first.  :(  I'll look at that diff again but most likely we
 will work with what I've written so far.  And if you have time to help,
 there are some parts that I could delegate.
