Could you please be more precise ?  E.g. when do you get this error ?
I can guess it's when you hit TAB, but where do you hit it ?
Does it work when you hit TAB on the last line (the one with </tagxy>) ?
Does the error lead to a bad behavior, if so which one ?
After all, just complaining about an unmatched tag is not a problem:
you can always ignore the message if you know it's groundless.
Or is it just that the message annoys you ?

[..time passes..]

I think I see what you're talking about.  If I hit TAB on the -->
line I also get the message (and it wrongly indents to column 0).
I'll see what I can do about it.  It should be able to notice the
<!-- when working its way backwards and infer that it was inside a
comment.

Sounds like we're talking about the same mode: it tries to automatically
detect whether you're using XML or SGML.
