Because XML is designed to not parse <!-- comments -->. If you want a |
| 13 |
machine to spit out a nice summary based on XML, you define and use |
| 14 |
something like a <comment> tag, not a language feature that was |
| 15 |
designed not to be parsed like <!-- this -->. |
| 16 |
|

The abuse of <!-- comment --> tags has already forced bug wranglers to |
| 18 |
read the bare tags. |
