Summary: CodeDOM: Comments not supported

Initial Comment:
The CodeDOM does not support adding Comments to a 
WiX file.

However not a key scenario when creating WiX files, 
being able to roundtrip comments when modifying WiX 
files using the CodeDOM is an absolute requirement.

On the other hands, comments are part of a valid WiX XML 
file. I still think that it would be a great enhancement if 
you have the tools available to programatically read and 
write (roundtrip) valid WiX XML files; as such, comments 
are indeed required.

Think of this as potentially useful for tools such as 
editors.

You may as well consider adding a XmlNode child element as 
supported to any WiX element that supports child elements, 
this way, you add support for code comments, CDATA and any 
other valid XML element (think extensions here). And, that 
way you don't have to care about it any more.

Seems like more of a feature request.  It also doesn't seem
like the CodeDOM should support comments.  It exists to
represent the schema of WiX itself - comments exist outside
of that domain.

This isn't something I'm interested in supporting. If someone 
else wants to pick this up, that would be fine with me, but it's 
completely outside the scenarios the CodeDom was created 
for.
