Bug or by Design? Commented-out ADF components still appear on .JSP page

Question

I normally use all .jspx pages, but for a couple of pages I'm using a .jsp page because I need to include <f:verbatim> HTML code.
I'm noticing an odd occurrence where ADF component statements contained within comments still appear on the .jsp page (this does not occur with .jspx pages, and, regular comments w/o ADF components do not appear.) For example the following still shows up on the rendered page?:
<!-- <af:panelLabelAndMessage label="#{bindings.View1mlm.label}">
<af:outputText value="#{bindings.View1mlm.inputValue}">
<f:convertNumber groupingUsed="false"
pattern="#{bindings.View1mlm.format}"/>
</af:outputText>
</af:panelLabelAndMessage> -->
This statement is not contained with the verbatim tag which appears later. I've also re-saved, re-compiled, etc. to make sure I wasn't using an older version of the page.
Is this a bug or something I'm not aware of related to <!-- comments containing af: components --> within a .jsp page?

Answer 1

The different comments jsp are:
<!-- This is an HTML comment -->
<%-- This is a jsp comment --%>
The difference is the HTML comment is send to the browser, but the browser should not render comments to the user.
The jsp comments are not send to the browser, since they are stripped off by the compiler.
This reminds me of one project, where we used the write HTML comments on the jsp-pages like
<!-- This sucks, please correct before next release -->. Luckily, the QAs corrected us before going live. ;o))
