AN XML parser is at liberty to discard comments (that's why they are
called comments) If the parser does discard them then they are gone
before xsl gets a chance to match against them. If they are not
discarded, the syntax you quoted should work.

For xt you can tell it to use a non standard sax extension that keeps
comments by using the following switch on your java call

-Dcom.jclark.xsl.sax.parser=com.jclark.xml.sax.CommentDriver

They are expanded by the XML parser so they are not in the source tree
that XSL sees, even if they were in the original file.
