Of course you can also select multiple elements:

And comment them out, too:

Unfortunately, if you already have comments in your HTML/XML/XAML, and try to comment out a section that spans existing comments, then it will only comment out the selection up to the first existing comment. It would be nice if VS added a closing comment before the existing comment, and then a new opening comment after the existing comment. Of course, that wouldn't solve the problem of uncommenting the code, since VS wouldn't be able to distinguish between comments that it added and comments that were already there.
