 If content is pasted from Word directly into TinyMCE (instead of using the
 toolbar button), a lot of ugly tags are included. Most noticeably, there
 are what look like conditional comments (supportEmptyParas, etc.) that
 appear in Internet Explorer 6+ (Firefox and Safari hide the comments).

 Since they only appear in Internet Explorer, they can be hard to catch. Is
 there something we can do to strip these out automatically (or all html
 comments?), rather than assuming users will always use the Paste from Word
 button.
