You have defined this template (to match comments). But this template
is probably not getting called, with the right context. Please make
sure, this template is invoked in the processing chain.

No, it's worse than that.


Comments have no child nodes to process, so apply-templates in the context of a comment is a no-op.

What the OP wants is <xsl:value-of select="."/> (to write out the string value of the comment) or <xsl:copy-of select="."/> (to copy the comment).

Cheers,
Wendell
