Comments are not handled while XML parsing.

[hyadav5]

I know this is not the issue but a new request, but I feel this should be handled.
I have a below XML:

<Benchmark xmlns="http://checklists.nist.gov/xccdf/1.1" xml:lang="en-US">
 <Profile id="profile1">
    <title xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en-US">text1</title>
    <select idref="This is rule 1" selected="true"/>
    <!--Rule:world_writable_sticky_dirs uses following values:-->
    <!--Rule:world_writable_sticky_dirs uses following values:-->
    <set-value idref="ssfs_master_key_timeout">20</set-value>
 </Profile> 

 <Profile id="profile2">
    <title xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en-US">text2</title>
    <select idref="this is rule1" selected="true"/>
    <!--Rule:world_writable_sticky_dirs uses following values:-->
    <!--Rule:world_writable_sticky_dirs uses following values:-->
    <select idref="this is rule1" selected="true"/>
 </Profile>
</Benchmark>

Below is my code:
var fs = require('fs'); 
var et = require('elementtree');
var pd = require('pretty-data').pd;
var tailorData, etree;

tailorData = fs.readFileSync('my.xml').toString();

**etree = et.parse(tailorData); // This function misses all the comments section. So while writing etree to file, comments will be gone.**

var profile = etree.find('./Profile');
profile.set('id', 'MyElementTree');
var resultXml = etree.write();
fs.writeFileSync(tailoredXML, resultXml);

Their is no handler for comments.
NPM\elementtree\lib\parsers\sax.js:
XMLParser.prototype._handleComment = function(comment) {};

Is there any way I can include comments also in et.parse(), as these comments are important in my case ??? I have seen the below file of the elementtree npm, but didn't got idea how to handle the comments section.
NPM\elementtree\lib\parsers\sax.js
NPM\elementtree\lib\treebuilder.js

@Kami @pquerna could you allow comments handling while xml parsing ?
Many people request for libraries which use elementtree (SamVerschueren/gulp-cordova-version#5 for example)
Thanks a lot !
