Top-level comments in CSL styles

CSL Development

Carles has identified some styles that fail to run in citeproc-js due
to an XML comment that is a sibling of the cs:style node:

https://github.com/citation-style-language/styles/blob/master/inter-ro.csl

The complaint I get in the test runner under Rhino is:

“SyntaxError: XML objects may contain at most one node.”

Is it possible to have these comments moved inside the cs:style node?

While the comment seems to be valid XML (as suggested by successful
validation and the XML spec at
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-comments ), there have been multiple
reports of problems with XML comments in this location (e.g.
http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/26323/ and
http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/21916/submitting-style-zoterosf/?Focus=116995#Comment_116995
). So I agree that we should move them.

Feel free to make the change yourself. I’ll probably update my own
maintenance script to deal with these comments, but that might take a
while.

Thanks. It looks like only three styles were affected. I’ve make the
changes and pushed them to the repo.
