Should comments have unsupported tags warnings like posts?

Posts have a warning when an HTML tag is used that is not supported:

Draft answer including script tag with warning that script tag is not supported

Comments do not have a similar warning, but comments also have tags that are not supported. Should comments have a warning too? At present the user does not find out that a tag will not have the expected effect until after posting the comment.

Yes, this is a good idea. I have run into this. Only last week I tried to use something like the <sup> tag, and I only found out it didn't work in a comment after the comment was posted.

Even better would be to support all the same "small" tags that main posts do. <sup> and the like really should be supported in comments.
