Add syntax to mark HTML blocks that should be preserved

Currently you can define as many preservation rules as you like, but it 
requires a bit of extra work. 

I am thinking a good addition would be to create some simple syntax that would 
tell HTML compressor to skip following block. Currently I am leaning towards:

<!-- {{{ --> 
     - Anything inside will be preserved, with the highest priority after user defined blocks
     - Number of spaces around {{{ could be zero or more
     - These comments themselves will be always removed ignoring comment removal setting
<!-- }}} -->

Making it an HTML comment would ensure that having it on a page wouldn't break 
anything even if HTML compressor is not applied to the page.

Now a few questions for you:
- What do you think about such syntax? Could it interfere with any other 
scripting language?
- Should this syntax have the higher priority over user defined rules or not? I 
think user defined rules still should be at the top as if you went through the 
trouble of defining them then you should know what you are doing.
- Should these comments be treated as regular comments during compression and 
removed with the rest of the comments if set so, or always removed?
