[theme-reviewers] Comment style problems

[Justin Tadlock]

That wouldn't be a valid complaint from a theme dev anyway.  Only users 
without the 'unfiltered_html' cap are limited to those HTML tags.  Any 
users with the 'unfiltered_html' cap can add any HTML they want.  
Otherwise, we'd never get those tags to work in the theme unit test data.
