Actually you are incorrect. Please read section JSP.1.5.1 of the JSP Spec. 

"Dynamic content that appears within HTML/XML comments, such as
actions, scriptlets and expressions, is still processed by the container."

As your jsp contains an unbalanced action it will fail to translate. 

If you want to comment out code you should be using jsp comments.

Also, I hope you realize that HTML comments are rendered to the browser and so
your comments on usage such as the ones in your example would be visible to any
user of your application.
