[TYPO3-core] Gremlin #1292: xhtml_cleaning cleans HTML commentswhich is not wanted in any case

Nope, the comments are _not_ removed when using XHTML-Cleaning. The tags
inside the comments are just transformed to small letters - which
imposes problems for RDF - namely for the timtab extension.

Maybe... I didn't have a closer look into this, but I think it is more
difficult to filter out comment sectiopns.

thanks!

I don't know who uses xhtml-cleaning... But the problem exists when
using XHTML-Cleaning, and it should be fixed I think.

What do you suggest how to continue?
Greets, Sebastian
