35819729b83b8521e9ae1bddca5c368672777de5 exp/template/html: elide comments in template source.
When templates are stored in external files, developers often embed
comments to explain&|disable code.
<!-- Oblique reference to project code name here -->
{{if .C}}...{{else}}<!-- commented out default -->{{end}}
This unnecessarily increases the size of shipped HTML and can leak
information.
This change elides all comments of the following types:
1. <!-- ... --> comments found in source.
2. /*...*/ and // comments found in <script> elements.
3. /*...*/ and // comments found in <style> elements.
It does not elide /*...*/ or // comments found in HTML attributes:
4. <button onclick="/*...*/">
5. <div style="/*...*/">
I can find no examples of comments in attributes in Closure Templates
code and doing so would require keeping track of character positions
post decode in
<button onclick="/*...*/">
To prevent token joining, /*comments*/ are JS and CSS comments are
replaced with a whitespace char.
HTML comments are not, but to prevent token joining we could try to
detect cases like
<<!---->b>
</<!---->b>
which has a well defined meaning in HTML but will cause a validator
to barf. This is difficult, and this is a very minor case.
I have punted for now, but if we need to address this case, the best
way would be to normalize '<' in stateText to '<' consistently.
The whitespace to replace a JS /*comment*/ with depends on whether
there is an embedded line terminator since
break/*
*/foo
...
is equivalent to
break;
foo
...
while
break/**/foo
...
is equivalent to
break foo;
...
Comment eliding can interfere with IE conditional comments.

<!--[if IE 6]>
<p>You are using Internet Explorer 6.</p>
<![endif]-->
/*@cc_on
document.write("You are using IE4 or higher");
@*/
I have not encountered these in production template code, and
the typed content change in CL 4962067 provides an escape-hatch
if conditional comments are needed.
