No, I don't think of it as a keyword and it cannot end a paragraph as it
would then break any document that uses such constructs.  Not sure what
to call it but it falls into the same category as inline directives like
@@latex:...@@.  And, in fact, this would work as well as the first
example, again failing for HTML export:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
This is the first sentence.
@@latex:%@@ this is the second which is commented out.
And this is the third.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Both of these rely on the fact that % is a comment character for
LaTeX.  For HTML, you would have to something even more ugly, as in:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
This is the first sentence.
@@html:<!-- @@ this is the second which is commented out. @@html:-->@@
And this is the third.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

and if you are really masochistic, you could combine the two:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
This is the first sentence.
@@latex:%@@@@html:<!-- @@ this is the second which is commented out. 
@@html:-->@@
And this is the third.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

(untested) :-)
