Hi Oren.

For output JScript I've been using what MS recommends ie.,

          //<xsl:comment>
          <![CDATA[
               ...Script...
          ]]>
          //</xsl:comment>

...which seems to work fine for the IE5b2 parser. Not sure how it would
fare for XT.

Cheers
     Guy.

For all those who are fighting against the restriction that XSL processors
will emit only valid XML, here's a way out which works at least for XT. I'd
be very interested to know whether it works in other processors and whether
it is a valid trick (it probably isn't).
Suppose you have a rule which goes:
<xsl:template match="...">
<xsl:comment> --&gt;
Whatever I damn please, including &lt;, &amp;!!!
&lt;!-- </xsl:comment>
</xsl:template>
Running this through XT will emit:
<!-- -->
Whatever I damn please, including <, &!!!
<!-- -->
