Hi Mohamed,

The comment prompt you mentioned actually isn't babel specific but is
raised by the `comment-region' function which is used by babel to
comment out links.  Look at the documentation for `comment-region'
(below) which has information on variables to set to avoid the "comment
syntax" prompt in xml documents.

,----[C-h f comment-region]
| comment-region is an interactive compiled Lisp function in
| `newcomment.el'.
| 
| It is bound to C-c r.
| 
| (comment-region BEG END &optional ARG)
| 
| Comment or uncomment each line in the region.
| With just C-u prefix arg, uncomment each line in region BEG .. END.
| Numeric prefix ARG means use ARG comment characters.
| If ARG is negative, delete that many comment characters instead.
| 
| The strings used as comment starts are built from `comment-start'
| and `comment-padding'; the strings used as comment ends are built
| from `comment-end' and `comment-padding'.
| 
| By default, the `comment-start' markers are inserted at the
| current indentation of the region, and comments are terminated on
| each line (even for syntaxes in which newline does not end the
| comment and blank lines do not get comments).  This can be
| changed with `comment-style'.
