Well the OP wants to do something with the file. It can't be done 
(it seems, I'm not so sure about that), without hacking at comments. 
Again, that suggests:

  * an abuse of the document
  * a badly designed document

take your pick.

Apples and oranges. And worse, fruitless.

appropriate course of action. We could all learn something from that.
