XML comments can include angle brackets as ordinary characters. You can use
them for things that look like markup, e.g.

<!-- <br/> -->

but they aren't really markup, because you can also write

<!--<<<<>>>> <br was here/> <<<<>>>>-->

which clearly wouldn't parse as an "element within a comment".

So if you want to generate anagle brackets inside a comment, you need to
generate them as ordinary charaters, not as serialized element nodes.
