The comments in the file result only from conversion or calculation of
values derived from the internal storage format or values actually
printed. In short this means that given the date of the last
modification RRDTool can calculate itself which node belongs to which
timeslot in the file, thus this information is not required to read and
process the actual information.

Yes, that's not the best way to do XML, but as the XML dumps are mostly
used for backup purposes this is sufficient.

P.S.: You can stream in the XML information directly from librrd using a
callback function since version 1.4. This should make it easier to use
RRDTool without dumping everything to the filesystem first since those
XML dumps can get quite large.
