---------------

    In addition to documenting DTML you can use the *comment* tag to
    temporarily comment out other DTML tags. Later you can remove the
    *comment* tags to re-enable the DTML.

       commented dtml is still parsed to the effect that you cannot save bad dtml even if it's commented out!
       (wouldn't mind seeing this changed...)

       Especially as progressively commenting less and less of a document is a well understood and oft-used method
       for debugging

       Hint: since browsers hide <...> when they dont see a tag, 
       commenting out single dtml tags just put an x before "dtml" like

       <xdtml-var blah>.
