In xml mode, mark the following:
<!-- foo -->
<bar/>
and execute comment-region:
<!-- <\!-- foo -\-> -->
<!-- <bar/> -->
For example, as an alternative, the following is valid:
<!-- <!-\- foo -\-> -->
<!-- <bar/> -->
The offending code seems to be comment-quote-nested in newcomment.el. Should this code be changed, or the code for the xml mode, or both?
