Also literal <!— XML comments —> work just like other literal XML, as there is a different syntax for (: XQuery comments :)
XQuery: <comments> <!-- more comments... --> { collection()[1]//comment() }
{ comment { " last comment " } }</comments> (: XQuery Comment :)
Produced output:
<comments>
<!-- more comments... -->
<!-- xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0"; namespace removed and root element
TEI => TEI.2 to conform to DTD based TEI stylesheets -->
<!-- Real PID: <idno type="uva-pid" >uva-lib:2826790</idno> Fake PID: -->

<!-- FIXME: figure on p116 & 117: no image and table missing from
transcription -->
<!-- last comment -->
</comments>
"comment()" is the XPath syntax to match a comment node, not a function that
creates comments.
