Thanks for providing a sample. What I'm worrying about is validity of a
construct like this:
% \begin{equation}
%%
%% comment about the following equality
%%
%   x^{2}+y^{2} = z^{2}
% \end{equation}

If this notation is valid in .dtx file, lines with only two %'s should
not be considered as delimeter for math expression.

What do you think about this?
(Hmm, the above equation environment yields nothing in the output of
"pdflatex dtx-test.tex", when inserted in your example. So it's just
ignored maybe because it's invalid?)
