Hello --

So I have a pile of near-XML HTML with semantically significant comments to deal with.  (I must have been sinning much more than I realized!)

Using BaseX866-20170818.124137, BaseX will parse the content but all the comments go away.  This is with passing the "lexical" option on the parser tab where it asks for TagSoup options, which I understand from https://github.com/orbeon/tagsoup/blob/master/trunk/README to pass through comments (and DOCTYPE declarations).
