Actually, you can use <!--[tag ...]--> and it will work. There is also
an HTML tag parsing mechanism that still works (although it reduces parse
speed from 20-50%) and allows you to do things like

	<SCRIPT MV=calc>
		$perl_code;
	</SCRIPT>

This is documented, but it isn't encouraged for use and is deprecated. (There
are probably more than a few bugs in it as well....)
