My confusion was that I was inserting the xml section into an <xsl:comment>
element, rather than a no-namespace-prefix <comment> element. Now that I've
cleared up that bit of mental muddle, I'm proceeding along the path suggested
by Michael Kay, namely, use a bit of post-processing to swap the
<comment></comment> for <!-- -->.
Since the whole shebang is orchestrated through ant, it's a trivial matter to
insert another task in the processing stream to make the swap.
Thanks for your interest.

The direct answer is, "Because I didn't think of it." Having now tried it,
I can tell you that it strips away all the XML markup from the document,
leaving only the element contents.
It creates an comment, just like xsl:element.
That being "It creates a comment, just like xsl:element creates an element."
That might make my point a little clearer.
