Yes, don't wrap the markup in a comment!  Remember markup is meant to
mean something, so if you want to state that some part of the xml should
be ignored use something like:

<ignore>
  <foo>
    <bar/>
  </foo>
</ignore>

This way you can do what you wish using a template to match <ignore> -
treat it as a comment, treat it as markup its up to you...

If you actually want to write a comment in xml, use <!-- -->, if you
really mean anything else at all, use markup.
