[xsl] Newbie wants comments too . . .

So I am very new to XSL and teaching myself as I go.

I am trying to transform and existing XML database to a new format.

The scrips works (see below), EXCEPT comments in the original file are not copied into the output file.

The individual database items are converted as I want them, but the comments are lost.

What do I need to do so that the original file comments also get copied to the output file?
