Yes, don't wrap the markup in a comment! Remember markup is meant to
mean something, so if you want to state that some part of the xml should
be ignored use something like:
<ignore>
<foo>
<bar/>
</foo>
</ignore>
This way you can do what you wish using a template to match <ignore> -
treat it as a comment, treat it as markup its up to you...
If you actually want to write a comment in xml, use <!-- -->, if you
really mean anything else at all, use markup.

Unfortunately, I don't have that choice. Briefly, remember that I mentioned
that work is done on the result from script A. This is done by a Java programs
(not own by us) that 'swallowed' the <foo> because it is not 'recognized'. I
don't want to go into details about this since I can't change that.
The only thing I can change to either make
<foo>
<bar/>
<foo>
into a comment or a CDATA section like
<recognized_tag>
<![CDATA[
<foo>
<bar/>
<foo>
]]>
</recognized_tag>
Any other ideas?
