Not if you declare a doc namespace, such as:

   <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
       xmlns:doc="http://my.com/MyXSLExtensions";>

Doesn't this break the stylesheet? If the annotations are outside of a 
template, then it is incorrect XSLT syntax, and if inside, they will 
get copied to the output? Or am I missing something?

Thanks.

Horrible! Why invent your own markup syntax instead of using XML?

Use something like:

<doc:overview>This xsl page is used to calculate the 
              factorial of a given number</doc:overview>

Then you can use XSLT to manipulate the documentation.

Other people have done work on stylesheet annotation, I'm sure there's
something you can re-use but I can't point you to it.
