On 9 October 1996, the ERB will vote to decide the following question. A non-binding preliminary vote indicates the ERB is now leaning to Yes. A.20 XML will retain the notion and syntax of comments (= 8879's 'comment declarations') (7.6, 10.3), but comment declarations will contain at most one comment: comments will take the form '<!>' or else will begin with '<!--' and end with '-->' (no space allowed), and may not contain '--'. (Editor's note: the ERB did not explicitly discuss empty comments; the consensus may extend only to the <!-- ... --> form, and not to keeping <!>. -CMSMcQ)
