This is not obvious at all. And I believe that REX patches like: <!-- This comment is in the REX source file only --> <event target='/some/where' name='DOMNodeInserted'> <!-- This comment will be inserted in the target --> </event> are quite confusing. > Is there any part of the specification which makes you believe that > it would not I agree with Ian Hickson, it seems to me that general XML rules (not REX or DOM specific) would prevent it to be inserted. When I write a XSLT template: <xsl:template match="foo/bar"> <xsl:comment>This one will be added as a comment in the output.</xsl:comment> <!-- This one is a real comment, it will be ignored --> </xsl:template> The "real" comment (between <!-- and -->) is not inserted.
