No.

# clearly conflicts with lists...  The leading semi-colon could
co-exist with the new markup syntax if/when we switch completely to
that.

I can't see how it could be a security risk.  OTOH, both new and old
parsers at this point are fairly line oriented as would have trouble
dealing with things like <!-- inline comments -->, etc...  So it's
probably better to adopt a comment syntax which is inherently line
oriented.  Maybe the C++/PHP style:

// Here's a comment?
