Be advised that XML does not require parsers to retain comments in XML documents. Some will, since COMMENT_NODE is a valid node type, but a lot of parsers just strip comments.

Just make sure that anything in comments inside XML is not relevant to others who parse the document. They may not get to see them.

Fair warning,
