Comment (by dmsnell):

 In [changeset:"59075" 59075]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="59075"
 HTML API: Add `get_full_comment_text()` method.

 Previously, there were a few cases where the modifiable text read from an
 HTML comment differs slightly from the parsed value of its inner text in a
 browser. This is due to the specific way that invalid HTML syntax tokens
 become "bogus comments."

 This patch introduces a new method to the Tag Processor to allow
 differentiating these specific cases, such as when copying or serializing
 HTML from one source to another. Similar code has already been in use in
 the html5lib tests, and this patch simplifies the test runner, evidencing
 the fact that this method was already needed.
