You have defined this template (to match comments). But this template
is probably not getting called, with the right context. Please make
sure, this template is invoked in the processing chain.

No, it's worse than that.



Comments have no child nodes to process, so apply-templates in the 
context of a comment is a no-op.



What the OP wants is <xsl:value-of select="."/> (to write out the 
string value of the comment) or <xsl:copy-of select="."/> (to copy 
the comment).



Cheers,
Wendell
