Re: ShrapnelGames.com
To be honest, comments should be able to go anywhere. I don't understand why the standard is that strict... frankly, I think it is a design blunder on the W3C's part.

Re: ShrapnelGames.com
Well, I can tell you that it does make a difference in how various browsers will render a page if the DOCTYPE is not the very first thing on the page. I had a problem with some sites because of Proxomitron putting certain 'includes' on the page before the DOCTYPE had been received and it screwed up the page formatting. The filters had to be altered to look for the DOCTYPE in order to prevent this problem.

Re: ShrapnelGames.com
Well, I can understand that, but I have to say that a rendering engine ought to be a little more intelligent and robust. Comments should just be ignored automatically. Its just how I think... and of course, HTML is a script, not compiled, which is my preferred methodology.

Standards exist for a reason...

Which doesn't mean they can't be stupid standards.  Comments should be ignored no matter where they are. That's the entire point of a comment.

Exactly. Just because its a standard doesn't make it right.
