[Gerard Oberle]

Is it possible to place a comment WITHIN a tag? For example,

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE top>
<top>
<something first="1" !-- 1 is the first attribute --
last="100" !-- and 100 is the last --
else="none"/>
</top>

Obviously, the XML here is contrived.

Thanks in advance!

58, "Oberle", 64, 46, 10;'
