Commented contents not considered for XSLT Transform

Hi list,

I'm doing XSLT(2.0) Transformation XML 2 XML using saxon9. In my input XML
have some block of text commented, so it's not transformed/coming in output
even I match the comment. Please suggest.

In my XSLT,
<xsl:template match="comment()"><xsl:apply-templates/></xsl:template>

In my XML,
<!--<subsection id="ss1" level="1" type="introduction">
				<heading id="h0"
level="1">INTRODUCTION</heading>
				<p>Hemorrhage from esophageal varices is a
common and clinically significant problem in combination therapy in the
prevention of recurrent variceal hemorrhage is unclear.</p>
				<p>Recent data EBL would then be recommended
for the subset of patients failing to achieve an adequate decline in their
HVPG (<link rid="b17 b18">17, 18</link>).</p></subsection>-->
