I think whether you consider data binding (and possibly database products) 
to have difficulty coping with comments and PIs embedded in values depends 
on whether you want your application to see the comments and PIs or not (as 
opposed to whether the XML specs want to enable your application to see 
them).  If you don't, there shouldn't be a problem.
