Comments in XML Destroys Element Nesting

Incorrect end elements that should not be there.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.51/Windows XP

Please provide any additional information below.

To add, the comments look like this, and it seems the parser is having issues 
with
the multi-line comments:

<!--  
The column on the intermediary table that links back  
to the primary key on the main table  
-->

Hi the Regex for comments in XML stumbles upon newlines. Use this one instead:

// Match comments
// (\<|<)!--\s*(\s|.)*?\s*--(\>|>)
this.GetMatches(new RegExp('(\<|<)!--\\s*(\\s|.)*?\\s*--(\>|>)', 'gm'),
'comments');
