I read your earlier question on this subject (script with no content being 
collapsed to <script/> confuses IE), and I think the problem is that you have 
to use it like this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="functions.js">
  <xsl:comment> comment inserted for Internet Explorer </xsl:comment>
</script>

Otherwise the comment is completely ignored by the XSLT processors XML 
parser, and you end up with <script/> all over again.

It wasn't clear whether you were showing the stylesheet or the output above, 
so if you are already using <xsl:comment>, I really don't know what the 
problem could be.  Check that functions.js is in the proper location and all 
that good stuff.  Also, try writing an HTML page by hand (or modify the 
output from your stylesheet) so that you know it works, and then try to get 
your stylesheet to match that.
