Comment in OpenDeploy config files

Can we not have comments inside OpenDeploy config files? When I add a comment from the file system, it's fine, the deploy works. But when I edit the file via the OpenDeploy Admin GUI and Save it, the comment is gone. Is there a way to preserve it?

Comments are of the format: 

We have some config template xmls from which config xmls are created. It is desirable to have some comments inside those templates, and with the new OpenDeploy it seems to be better to edit the template via the GUI.

Thanks

My guess is that the code handling the reading-in / parsing / writing-out of the configuration file through the GUI does not preserve comments. I've written scripts in Perl using some of the available XML parsers that have the same effect. I think if you want to preserve the comments you have to do a bit more work.

Feel free to contact Support and request this as an enhancement though ...
