OK. The format of the HTML pages is rather clean, so this would be
rather readable.

One argument that could go against that is the extra amount of data it
generates in the page that gets loaded. How do things change for the
release notes? But we are likely talking about an increase of 70kB to
perhaps 100kB, so it does not matter much those days :)
Another is that you cannot notice those comments except when looking
at the HTML source, which is something that most users won't really
notice, while others willing to look at those particular commits could
just ping this information from the SGML files, because they should
have the code around anyway.
