I'm in the process of converting a .net project for 9.3 into a 10.1 ESRI AddIn. I've tinkered around with AddIns only a little. Whilst in visual studio editing the Config.esriaddinx file when I start to type out an element such as <menu> or <button> I see in the popup list the elements <!-- and <? what do these mean?
I've tried searching the help and get nothing (unless I've missed it), so it would be good to get some clarification on what these elements mean.
I don't work with addins but if I remember right, that config file is just an xml file. In xml, the tags <!-- and --> are used for comments and the tags <? and ?> are used in the file header (i.e. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>).

Ah! Thank you, so they are an XML thing and not something specific to an ESRI AddIn. Once you pointed me into the right direction I found this page if anyone else is interested.
