For some reason I kept thinking very complicated and still couldn't
understand what you guys mean.
But then Jenni Tennison's book about the comments made a "ding" in my
head. :o)
Now I understand; thank you guys very much.
Here is the solution for the archive:
<xsl:template match="/">
<c><xsl:apply-templates select="comment()"/></c>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="comment()">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>

Houman

I do understand what guys are trying to say, yet it doesn't work.
You have done something rather different to what was suggested.
You no longer have a template matching comment() so when you do
<xsl:apply-templates select="comment()"/>
the default template will be executed, which in the case of coment nodes
produces no output.
Then you generate a c element node and do
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
. here is / ie the whole document, and value-of therefore produces the
string value of the document which is the concatenation of all
characters contained in any element (but not comments).
you want
<c><xsl:apply-templates select="comment()"/></c>
together with a template matching comment that does
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
