Well, it's not really the code in wpkg.js that does the real XML parsing.


But a quick search in google for "xml syntax comment" reveals that 
you're not allowed to use "--":

Syntax Rule 6: Comments

XML like many other languages allows comments. Comments are typically 
discarded by the parser ? thus they will not appear in the output of, 
say a browser.

The syntax of a comment is shown by the example below:

<!-- This is a Comment -->

The special element starting with the symbols <!-- and ending with the 
symbols --> is the comment and the text within forms the content of the 
comment. Note that comments cannot be nested since the use of the 
character string "--" is completely prohibited within a comment.
