I've reread the Xpath specifiation and, while there is a comment()
test, it does not clearly say that comments MUST be processed (the XML
specification clearly says that it is not mandatory).

And you say that XSLT is bad :-) because XSLT treat comments
as... comments, not as information items like you do in your draft.

<xsl:template match="foo/bar">
   <xsl:comment>This one will be added as a comment in the
   output.</xsl:comment>
   <!-- This one is a real comment, it will be ignored -->
</xsl:template>
