Hi, the only place you cannot put a comment (except inside element decls) is before the <?xml bit. Nothing can go there.
<?xml version="1.0"?> <!-- some comment --> <root > <!-- some comment --> </root> <!-- some comment --> all those comments are fine, but if you went <!-- some comment --> <?xml version="1.0"?> <root > </root> this would not be legel.
