another reason to use <!-- --> comments is that in almost
all editors they are highlighted (or better lowlighted...)
so are much easier to recognize and differentiate from
actual content.
using elements in another namespace (even a special doc
namespace) would somehow pollute the content i think.
Or document the content?
i guess an element as <annotation> in XML Schema is there
for a purpose but probably not to make the Schema better
maintainable which I think the main purpose comments in
general are for.
I'd suggest that the annotation element is for annotations?
XML comments are one thing.
XML documentation is another, and can be used as either metadata,
content documentation or a host of other things, using xml tools.
XML comments have far less utility IMHO.
Just my 0.02Euros.
