Doesn't this break the stylesheet? If the annotations are outside of a 
template, then it is incorrect XSLT syntax, and if inside, they will 
get copied to the output? Or am I missing something?

Thanks.

I have tried to create a tool to document XSL.
All the xsl documents will have tag commands like this:

<!--(_at_)overview This xsl page is used to calculate the
factorial of a given number -->


Horrible! Why invent your own markup syntax instead of using XML?

Use something like:

<doc:overview>This xsl page is used to calculate the 
              factorial of a given number</doc:overview>

Then you can use XSLT to manipulate the documentation.

Other people have done work on stylesheet annotation, I'm sure there's
something you can re-use but I can't point you to it.
