Thanks for this explanation.  At the site you reference,
I see:
   Comments may appear anywhere in a document
   outside other markup; ...

Consider:

   <MyDoc>
      <!--Here is my special tag-->
      <MySpecialTag>
         stuff in tag
      </MySpecialTag>
   </MyDoc>

Now is a sense, the comment is within markup, being between
the two MyDoc tags.  I assume that this is NOT what they mean,
and that the comment is ok.  Right?

Thanks again,
Mike.
