Test data for the XML module contain <!-- The content of this document is licensed under the XXX license --> <!-- See bla bla --> as an input data and <!-- The content of this document is licensed under the XXX license See bla bla --> as its corresponding output data. Does this mean that the conversion of a series of comments into one comment is an expected behavior? Since the Wml module temporarily converts '#'-headed comments into an XML-syntax comments and uses the XML module for parsing, the conversion of a series of comments results in a bug. I'd like to know whether this should be fixed in the XML module or in the Wml module. ;-)
