So I think the following should work:

<!ELEMENT xyz (instances_chop*, -- chop_enum with an atrribute for which 
instance is removed --
                          group,
                          .... more stuff

but I'm afraid I cannot test this right now...

Please stop guessing :-) The XML specification does not allow this.

<!-- is a start comment, --> is an end comment, and you can't
put comments inside declarations.

SGML allows just -- to start and end a comment, but not XML.
