>From previous (sometimes contentious) discussions on this list, I gather
that there's no provision in SAX for passing document <!-- comments --> to
a downstream application.

The XPointer WD, production 12, allows for relative addressing by node type
(element, PI, and so on), *including* comments.

Does the downstream invisibility of comments imply that a URL like this
will always fail?
	somedoc.xml#child(1,#comment)

Thanks for any insights,
John
