It's not required that the file extension be .kml. But if it does not end in .kml, you can say that it is a KML file by specifying the content-type. If the content-type is not set and the file extension is not .kml, we try to guess whether it is a KML file by looking at the first little bit of the document - which is why removing the comments would help.
