The last paragraph of Section 4.3.3.3 seems pretty clear to me on this subject.

>Consider Section 4.3.3.2 in http://www.w3.org/TR/xmldsig-core/
>
>Next consider Case 1 and Case 2 below:
>
>Case 1: <Reference URI="#frag1">....</Reference>
>
>Case 2: <Reference URI="xpointer(id('frag1')"> ..... </Reference>
>
>Consider:
>
><Object Id="frag1"> <hello> world </hello> <!-- today is cool --> </Object>
>
>
>The spec clearly says that Case 1 should Reference a node set without
>comments, but for Case 2, it does not clearly say that comments should be
>preserved or stripped (although comment preservation is implied).
>
>Is this clear somewhere else, or am I missing something?
