We solve three open problems concerning infinite-dimensional Lie groups posed in a recent survey article by K.-H. Neeb: (1) There exists a subgroup of some infinite-dimensional Lie group G which does not admit an initial Lie subgroup structure; (2) The pathology cannot occur if G is a direct limit of an ascending sequence of finite-dimensional Lie groups; (3) Every such direct limit group is a ``topological group with Lie algebra'' in the sense of Hofmann and Morris. Moreover, we prove a version of Borel's Theorem announced in the survey, ensuring the existence of compactly supported smooth diffeomorphisms with given Taylor series around a fixed point p (provided the tangent map at p has positive determinant).
