[xsl] Inserting commented elements into output file

Hi I've been scratching my head on this and can't figure out a solution. I have some XML documents that I'm converting to HTML and I am putting the same boilerplate RDF content into every file. I can get the RDF content into the html file but I can't figure out how to wrap the RDF content with a comment to make it acceptable by old browsers.

A boiled down version of my stylesheet: <?xml version="1.0"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"> <xsl:output method="html" indent="yes"/> <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
<html><head>
<title>test</title>
<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#">
<Work rdf:about="">
<license rdf:resource="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/1.0/" />
</Work>
<License rdf:about="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/1.0/">
  <requires rdf:resource="http://web.resource.org/cc/Attribution" />
  <requires rdf:resource="http://web.resource.org/cc/ShareAlike" />
  <permits rdf:resource="http://web.resource.org/cc/Reproduction" />
  <permits rdf:resource="http://web.resource.org/cc/Distribution" />
  <permits rdf:resource="http://web.resource.org/cc/DerivativeWorks" />
  <prohibits rdf:resource="http://web.resource.org/cc/CommercialUse" />
  <requires rdf:resource="http://web.resource.org/cc/Notice" />
</License>
</rdf:RDF>
</head>
<body></body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

which produces: <html> <head> <META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <title>test</title> <rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"> <Work rdf:about=""> <license rdf:resource="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/1.0/"></license> </Work> <License rdf:about="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/1.0/"> <requires rdf:resource="http://web.resource.org/cc/Attribution"></requires> <requires rdf:resource="http://web.resource.org/cc/ShareAlike"></requires> <permits rdf:resource="http://web.resource.org/cc/Reproduction"></permits> <permits rdf:resource="http://web.resource.org/cc/Distribution"></permits> <permits rdf:resource="http://web.resource.org/cc/DerivativeWorks"></permits> <prohibits rdf:resource="http://web.resource.org/cc/CommercialUse"></prohibits> <requires rdf:resource="http://web.resource.org/cc/Notice"></requires> </License> </rdf:RDF> </head> <body></body> </html>

But I'd like to produce the following (where the rdf:RDF element is surrounded by comments): <html> <head> <META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <title>test</title>  </head> <body></body> </html>

I've tried wrapping the <rdf> element with <xsl:comment> but Xalan doesn't like that; I've tried building the comments from <xsl:text> and <xsl:value-of select... with concat> but I can't find a syntax that is acceptable. I sure this must be trivial and I'm just not getting it.

Thank you for any assistance,
Steve Schwarz
