Description Brett 2007-05-08 03:56:59 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
This is a small problem, but I thought I'd report it. If entities or processing instructions have been added within a comment in the XML document, when XSL does a match, it will not output that part:

Steps to reproduce:
1. Add such comments to the XML file:

<!--
blah
<?proc-inst ?>
more blah
-->

2. Process the comment in the XSLT file:
<xsl:template match="comment()">
<xsl:copy/>
</xsl:template>

3. Look on in horror at the result. Ok, maybe not horror...

Actual results:
Only the text before and after gets printed:

<!--
blah

more blah
-->

Expected results:
Everything should be printed:

<!--
blah
<?proc-inst ?>
more blah
-->


Does this happen every time?
Yes
