As far as HTML is concerned, those are plain comments. A server might
interprete those commands.

Depends on your configuration. What does make you think, that Apache
should interprete the code?

By configuring it so, that it interpretes the code. You do so, when you
setup a handler which acts when certain content is requested.

It might be, that your apache is configured in such a way, that it
interpretes .shtml files. Just have a look at your httpd.conf, and
you'll see.
