robots that index comments

I was wondering, is it standard practice for most of the larger indexing
robots (Alta Vista, WebCrawler, etc), to index keywords placed in comments
towards the top of an html document? Or do they just ignore them?

I was just thinking that for a set of pages under development for a client,
that we could embed certain key words in comments that don't quite fit into
the flow of the page text and still have them indexed and hittable in
searches.

Thanks.
