Re: commenting an XML element [XSLT 1.0][xsltproc]

Thanks everybody for your thoughts.
Martin, just for the brevity below is the snippet of my sample xml, which is a table and <spec/> is actually is <colspec/> (copy pasted from the wrong snippet earlier)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- New document created with EditiX at Wed Aug 18 17:37:11 IST 2010 -->
<table id="t0010" frame="topbot" rowsep="0" colsep="0">
<label>Table 3-1</label>
<caption>
<simple-para id="sp0200" role="title">This is a dummy title.</simple-para>
<simple-para id="sp0210">Ranjan</simple-para>
</caption>
<source>Source if present.</source>
<tgroup cols="2">
<colspec colname="col1"/>
<colspec colname="col2"/>
<thead valign="top">
<row>
<entry rowsep="1" align="left">Abbreviation</entry>
<entry rowsep="1" align="left">Dosage Interval</entry>
</row>
</thead>
<!-- More code here -->
</tgroup>
</table>

Stylesheet snippet is same as posted earlier and I just tried using "XALAN" in editix2010sp1 and got the following error.

Error:
==================================
No character data is allowed between top-level elements
No character data is allowed between top-level elements
No character data is allowed between top-level elements
No character data is allowed between top-level elements

Failed to compile stylesheet. 4 errors detected.

If I select the first error it highlights line
<entry rowsep="1" align="left">Dosage Interval</entry>
