current page in view mode by js with a index.php or an api.php call, and I
do, but this is much more server-expensive IMHO.
Is there any sound reason to strip html comments away? If there is no sound
reason, could such a stripping be avoided?
They are wikitext comments, defined to be stripped for the final user.
I think there is an extension allowing to output html comments. You can
also use some tag properties as containers.
