A Directive (like <!ENTITY xxx []>) can't have other nodes nested inside it (in our data structure representation), so there is no way to preserve comments. The previous behavior was to just elide them, which however might change the semantic meaning of the surrounding markup. Instead, replace them with a space which hopefully has the same semantic effect of the comment. Directives are not actually a node type in the XML spec, which instead specifies each of them separately (<!ENTITY, <!DOCTYPE, etc.), each with its own grammar. The rules for where and when the comments are allowed are not straightforward, and can't be implemented without implementing custom logic for each of the directives. Simply preserving the comments in the body of the directive would be problematic, as there can be unmatched quotes inside the comment. Whether those quotes are considered meaningful semantically or not, other parsers might disagree and interpret the output differently. This issue was reported by Juho Nurminen of Mattermost as it leads to round-trip mismatches. See #43168. It's not being fixed in a security release because round-trip stability is not a currently supported security property of encoding/xml, and we don't believe these fixes would be sufficient to reliably guarantee it in the future.
