I am using sgml-mode.el from cvs:
http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/*checkout*/emacs/emacs/lisp/textmodes/sgml-mode.el?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/plain

in this file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>

<root>

  <!-- apply templates based on whether it's
-->
  <!-- don't sort the top-level topics -->

</root>

put point before the first "-->" and indent.
