HTML::Parse and comment removal

Why does the HTML::Parse module throw away comments? I'd like to
use it to validate server side include files (.shtml) which use a
comment like marker to encode server parsing directives. But since
the parse_html subroutine drops all comments, my script cannot
process these directives. The obvious hack of removing the comment
handler in parse_html is only a partial solution as this causes
extra <P> tags in inconveniant places when passed to HTML::Element::asHTML.
Thanks
