Summary: comment before document element handled wrong

Initial Comment:
Used eXist 2.1-dev-rev0000-20120615

The following XQuery gives aan error in eXist:

xquery version "1.0";

let $doc := document{<!-- foo --><bar/>}
return $doc

The XML is perfectly well-formed though, comments may appear before root. I ran into this with other XML (dynamically adding comments, which could appear before root), this is a short way to recreate it. Found an older 2008 issue to the same effect, which was closed without resolution.

Regards,

Marc de Graauw
