Comments inside SELECT and OPTION tags.

[anonymous]

Internet Explorer removes HTML comments which are inside SELECT and OPTION tags.

As an example:

<form><!-- form -->
<select><!-- select -->
<option><!-- option --></option>
</select>
</form>

becomes:

<form>
<!-- form --><select>
<option selected="selected"></option>
</select>
</form>

This also proves to be a problem when working with ProtectedSource since it makes use of comments.

The same bug occurs in 3.0 beta 3667.

IE doesn't allow comments inside SELECT,so it's almost not fixable.

Confirmed, this is a browser implicit limitation.
