Not entirely unreasonable, but has this been discussed on wikipedia-l
and/or the wiki?
I know I brought it up before with the old software, but I don't
recall any particular arguments for or against. I think Clifford
just wasn't interested enough to do it. If you think it might be
controversial, feel free to bring it up to the group, but I don't
see any big problem deciding some such issues by programmer fiat.
Well, if anybody doesn't like it, it can be taken out again.
Offhand pro: Comments can be used to note details of a tricky table
layout or similar, to help future editors make sense of inherently
confusing markup.
Offhand con: Hidden text seems contra-wiki in spirit; text that is
commented out, but left in an article, may confuse newbie editors.
