2. Package control tags may contain comments. Comments start with <!--
       (hex 4C5A6060) and end with --> (hex 60606E). The first -->
       encountered after the initial <!-- will end the comment. A comment
       may precede or follow a tag, but may not appear within a tag.

This requires some clarification for me regarding the distinction
between being "contained" and "appearing within".

I believe these are geneneral XML syntax conventions and not specific for the GIMZIP or GIMUNZIP service routines. Therefore, here is a general example:

  <element         <!-- this comment appears within a tag: bad -->
    attr="value">  <!-- this comment follows a tag: good -->
  </element>

And what I really want to know is what to code in GIMZIP's
SYSIN in order to cause a comment to appear in the generated
GIMPAF.XML file.

There is nothing you can specify as input to GIMZIP that will cause it to create a comment in the generated GIMPAF.XML file. The description attribute can be used to convey textual information in the generated file.
