This sounds as if you need to restore the elements from the comment
strings when doing the re-transform. Maybe it's easier to move the
elements you don't want to another namespace and than have something
like a pass-through template for that namespace:

    <xsl:template match="ignore:*">
        <xsl:apply-templates select="*"/>
    </xsl:template>
