MS Code Cleaning Tool Bug - Certain code not cleansed

[jkronika]

The following are example pieces of MSWord inserted code that is not removed by the MS Code Cleaning Tool, which I believe is part of the base Xinha editor. This was tested in r510.

Aside from some line breaks that were removed to reduce the vertical space for these blocks, this is precisely the output of Xinha. This was initially noticed in r179, and persisted after an update.

We have a similar problem, specifically relating to code snippets of the following form:

<!--[if supportLineBreakNewLine]--> <!--[endif]-->

The problem is that, ironically, although they are invisible in Firefox, when viewed as HTML, under IE, for some reason they are displayed to the user as visible tags.

This problem shows up in the Roller blogger software, which uses Xinha for entry editing. This seems to be a defect rather than an enhancement request to me, as the Word code that is allowed through actually breaks the IE rendering.

I checked the latest nightly build, and the problem persists there.

I see code in SuperClean's filter to remove comments. betting this is already done.
