[publican-list] Comments in XML files, good, bad, or ugly?

[Jeff Fearn]

Currently when you run `make clean_ids` any comments using the <!-- ... --> format get removed.

This was left in place as in some circumstances inline comments break translations as the merging process does not match the msgid. 

Is removing the comments the correct behaviour?

I have no strong feelings on the subject and it is a fairly simple fix from publicans perspective. The translation issue is a problem with either po2xml or msgmerge and would need to be fixed upstream, assuing it hasn't already been fixed.

Cheers, Jeff.
