[wp-hackers] Re: [wp-trac] Re: [WordPress Trac] #2691: HTML comments in posts aren't handled properly.

[Andrew Krespanis]

I had a look at wpautop and took a stab at it some time last weekend,
unfortunately my regex skillz aren't up to the task :(
At the moment HTML comments cause extra whitespace on-screen caused by
the <br /> or <p></p> (depending on whether a single or double line
break precedes the comment)

+1 for someone with skills taking it on :)
