I'm sorry i have completely missed your issue, this is quite interesting actually!
The W3C spec says

The root element of a Document object is that Document's first element child, if any. If it does not have one then the Document has no root element.

This seems to me that a document can have more than 1 root element, and that the comment is root because it's the first child of document.

From the WhatWG spec i can't find that it would be either right or wrong.
