Cute. Comments with text without having whitespace between the text and comments. It may be legal, but it's not common for legibility reasons. Scripts might generate it, although I tend to write scripts which insert whitespace in such situations.

Might this detect it?

/\w+<\!--.*-->\w+/

Or should the prefix/suffix situation be considered?

/\w+<\!--.*-->/
/<\!--.*-->\w+/


We also may want to consider the effect on our existing rules. Perhaps we'll need a preprocessor to s/<\!--.*-->//g so that spammers can't simply do something like:

fr<!--space-->ee po<!--space-->rn and low rate mort<!--space-->gages

That's apparantly their goal, and would be fairly easy for a spammer to do.
