That is a terrible standard breaker.  They should use something like the following instead:

<!-- arachne-msg="This text will be displayed at the status line" -->

The other browsers use Javascript to access the status line via writing to the variable 
window.status .  If Arachne does not support Javascript, he might want to have support for 
this special case:

<body onLoad="window.status='This text will ...';return true">
