It’s super cool that XML commenting toggling has been enabled and the implementation is very smooth (blocks of xml within comments are handled nicely) but the comment tag placement is ugly.
It would be swell if the comment formatting could be customized.. particularly it would be cool to see

    <blah blah />
    <unwanted stuff/>
    <blah blah />

become

    <blah blah />
    <!-- 
    <unwanted stuff/>
    -->
    <blah blah />

so the comment delimiters introduce new lines and be introduced at the same level as the highest order element they’re wrapping…

or it would be cool if the comments were flush against the left side of the document so it’s really easy to spot them.. (this would also introduce newlines).

Also, why not wrap each individual line in comment delimiter tags ? This would be triggered by Ctrl-/ and invoke line level comments, much like the Java editor… this would allow for easy fine grained xml commenting.
