[xsl] limitations of xsl:comment

[Ben Leighton <Ben.Leighton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Im confused as to why <xsl:comment> only allows content that generates
text nodes ie. it excludes content that generates elements / attributes
etc.

My XML editors allow (ie well formed) XML like:

<Top>
<!-- <Tag> </Tag> -->
</Top>

Can someone indicate why this is the case and whether its O.K for me to
force creation of <!-- and --> around xml using something like
<![CDATA[<!--]]>?

thanks,
:) Ben
