Ok, so changing the comments doesn't break the system, 10/10, VG for MS. But
the fact that Domenica wants to use this information in machine processing
suggests the information doesn't have to be "meaningless to machine
processing", only when it's been marked up this way. I admit I haven't seen
a machine.config file, but I'd hazard a guess there isn't a clear
demarcation system that encourages good practice.
