When I set out to read the documentation for the files, I seem to recall
seeing that the semicolon was not a valid comment.  

In any case, the poing is moot, because the zone files presently have no
comments, whether with ; or // or even /*.  

I was wondering ... is it because there is no semicolon at the end of TTL
and Refresh ..?

I'm going to try to put them back in (I removed them because someone
provided an example of a zone file, and they were not there).

I have read it.  I have it open on my screen as we speak.  One of the
problems was that I _did_ follow its advice, part of which is not relevant
to BIND 9.0
