It can be used in any context rather than just in a place where a HTML 
comment would be hidden.  I don't think we can strip HTML comments from 
translated strings because there might be one our two places where 
comments are included in strings marked for translation.  That's 
probably not a big deal though.  So, either way would probably be fine.
