XML is coming on strong, and it makes sense for us to take a stab at a

XML is only one way to represent metadata. I'd like to see filters
that can handle #..\n, //..\n, /*..*/, %%.\n, etc. as comments, rather
than imposing that only <!--..--> are treated as comments.
I'm sorry if it hasn't been clear, but nothing I've suggested so far
was intended to favor <TAG> over any other represention. It's just
that XML is an easy way to communicate examples.
