QuestionOddness that I never noticed before Pin

Working around in some XAML lately and have come across some odd stuff in the way commented code seems to be handled, or rather actually, not handled.

Note: Apparently writing XAML code in the editor is a PITA to get it formatted looking well so you may have to look at my examples a bit...

Just being able to add some typical comments inside some basic XAML looks like so:

<!-- Name Portion [Application Name] -->
<Border x:Name="BrandingBorder" Style="{StaticResource BrandingBorderStyle}">
   <StackPanel x:Name="BrandingStackPanel" Style="{StaticResource BrandingStackPanelStyle}">
      <!-- Logo Picture -->
      <ContentControl Style="{StaticResource LogoIcon}"/>
      <!-- Logo Name -->
      <TextBlock x:Name="ApplicationNameTextBlock" Style="{StaticResource ApplicationNameStyle}" Text="Application Title Name"/>
   </StackPanel>
</Border>


So now, I want to comment out my code as a whole and I try to just wrap my start and end tag inside of its own set of XML comment tags and I get:

<!-- Name Portion [Application Name] -->
<!-- 
<Border x:Name="BrandingBorder" Style="{StaticResource BrandingBorderStyle}">;
   <StackPanel x:Name="BrandingStackPanel" Style="{StaticResource BrandingStackPanelStyle}">;
      <!-- Logo Picture -->
      <ContentControl Style="{StaticResource LogoIcon}"/>
      <!-- Logo Name -->
      <TextBlock x:Name="ApplicationNameTextBlock" Style="{StaticResource ApplicationNameStyle}" Text="Application Title Name"/>
   </StackPanel>
</Border>
-->


Error = Comments cannot contain two adjacent hyphens '--', Two adjacent hyphens '--' must be followed by a close angle bracket character '>' to terminate the comment.

This however is just fine apparently:

<!-- Name Portion [Application Name] -->
<!-- 
<Border x:Name="BrandingBorder" Style="{StaticResource BrandingBorderStyle}">
    <StackPanel x:Name="BrandingStackPanel" Style="{StaticResource BrandingStackPanelStyle}">
       <ContentControl Style="{StaticResource LogoIcon}">
       <TextBlock x:Name="ApplicationNameTextBlock" Style="{StaticResource ApplicationNameStyle}" Text="Application Title Name"/>
    <StackPanel>
</Border>
-->


It just seems really odd that the editor seems to have such an issue with the commenting stuff when you are using multiple comment lines:

<!-- Name Portion [Application Name] -->
<!-- <Border x:Name="BrandingBorder" Style="{StaticResource BrandingBorderStyle}"> -->
<!--    <StackPanel x:Name="BrandingStackPanel" Style="{StaticResource BrandingStackPanelStyle}"> -->
<!--       Logo Picture -->
<!--       <ContentControl Style="{StaticResource LogoIcon}"> -->
<!--       Logo Name -->
<!--       <TextBlock x:Name="ApplicationNameTextBlock" Style="{StaticResource ApplicationNameStyle}" Text="Application Title Name"> -->
<!--    </StackPanel> -->
<!-- </Border> -->


What a real pain...
