>From the XSLT recommendation:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#section-Creating-Comments
"It is an error if instantiating the content of xsl:comment creates
nodes other than text nodes. An XSLT processor may signal the error; if
it does not signal the error, it must recover by ignoring the offending
nodes together with their content."
So, I don't believe you can generate xml within a comment by using
xsl:comment. You don't show the results of running your stylesheet, but
the fragment you posted should produce an empty comment.
Anyone else have an opinion?

Please respond to xsl-list
I want to translate some of the incoming XML into HTML, but comment out
certain things that don't make sense in HTML (yet still leave the original
intact)
For instance, I want this XML:
<input type="group" name="age" min="1"/>
to be transformed into this:
<!--<input type="group" name="age" min="1"/>-->
How would I go about doing this? I have this XSL already, but it doesn't
seem to be working properly. It recognizes the tag in question, but
doesn't
actually include the contents in the transformation:
<xsl:template match="* | text() | @*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="input[@type = 'group']">
<xsl:comment>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:comment>
</xsl:template>
