Description
I don't know if someone already caught this i had mentioned it to someone in the #chat but
When you write a post or a page and include comment html tags
the comments end up being wrapped in <p> tags
<p><!-- comment --></p>
An older plugin i use makes use of comment tags to know where to insert content but comments may be used for other reasons inside posts.
the more comments you add
the more line breaks errr paragraph breaks
additionally the plugin I was using could not pickup the comment tag and insert the content.

HTML comments can only be added in the Text editor or by plugins in the Visual editor. They are treated as text by wpautop.
If the comment is on its own, it is wrapped in a <p> tag. This is actually useful for the <!--more--> tag, so the content is split without leaving behind broken tags. If the comment is "inline" with other text, it is treated as part of that text. So the plugin or the user in the Text editor can decide what happens to the comment in wpautop.
