It's not an element. It's a string whose value looks like the lexical

<xsl:template match="comment()[matches(.,
'&lt;comment&gt;.*&lt;/comment&gt;')]"

If your input documents contain lots of structured data within comments (why
do people do this kind of thing?) then you might find saxon:parse() useful,
allowing you to parse the contents of the comment and treat it as XML.
