It seems that it took it literally, and then stripped it out as a security measure. If you view the page source you can see a tab character (or something) in your comment where the tag would have been. Yep, the bigwigs sure can be slow to adopt standards. I suppose a lot of it could have had to do with being so large of a site. They wanted to maintain *maximum* compatibility probably.
