Description Curt Arnold 2003-06-27 22:55:07 UTC 
The description of these tests state that they check that Node.attributes on a 
Comment node is null, but the do not make that assertion.  In addition, the hc_ 
version will fail on implementations that do not preserve comments since it 
relies on comment nodes already in the source document.  

Since there are already tests that check that the expected number of comments 
are present and some HTML implementations report PI's and DTD's as comments, 
changing the hc_ test so that it creates the comment is beneficial.
