 <xsl:apply-template mode="verb"/>
</xsl:comment>


where mode="verb" does things like

<xsl:template match="*">
 <xsl:text>&lt;</xsl:text>
 <xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
...


You can find various stylesheets to do such seralising, including some
of mine if you go
http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=xsl+mode%3D"verb"

or you could use an extension such as saxon:serialise  if that is
available to you 9which I guess it is)



<xsl:comment>
 <xsl:value-of select="saxon:serialise(.)"/>
