Pardon my ignorance. Doesn't xsltproc provide serialization?

Aren't comments and PIs represented in the XPath data model?

>From the XPath spec:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#section-Comment-Nodes

"There is a comment node for every comment, except for any comment that
occurs within the document type declaration."

http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#section-Processing-Instruction-Nodes
"There is a processing instruction node for every processing instruction,
except for any processing instruction that occurs within the document type
declaration."

I'd love to be really wrong on this. :o)  Probably other people also could
clarify this question.
