I don't remember how the XML module was working.
I think the comments are removed since 0.22 (changelog entry: "Do not break
paragraphs on comments, just remove them.").

Another solution would be to remove the comments from the translated
string, but to keep them in a string or array, and to write them back in
the generated file during pushline (the Man module does this; it works,
but the comments may not be always placed at the exact same place).


BTW, there is now an IRC channel #po4a at freenode
(The mailing list is just fine; it is just to inform you).


Kind Regards,
