I probably shouldn't go here... so, now that I am self-documenting these comments, I'd like to create line breaks for the web, where line break occur naturally in my comments, so:
<!-- these are comments with line breaks should output to browser with these line breaks. -->
Produces no line breaks. If I include <br/>(s) in the above comments and add disable-output-escaping="yes" to my value-of... I get the line breaks, but who wants to add these "unnatural" html elements to these comments!
Working perfect ; ) Nothing like self-documenting XSL Docs!
