minor technical comments on A.4 Comments

First comment:
Comments are line-terminated, but you have not defined your line 
terminators.
Are they the same as the characters that are normalized by XML 1.0?
by XML 1.1?

Second comment:
Established practice in languages has moved away from line-terminated
comments.  This is out of step with many
W3C recommendations, such as XML and XQuery.
Languages that originally had only line-terminated comments
subsequently decided that they need delimited comments (SQL, for example).
