Very small fish, very big pond. There's no chance of upgrading thousands of
licenses here in order to solve this problem the elegant way. It's nice to see
that Microsoft is catching up with Sun on this issue, though. OpenOffice has
been using native XML formats for some time.

I realise you're a bit hampered using Excel 2000, later versions do have XML
exports and the current beta of Office 12 uses XML as the native format.
When I tried a few experiments I was able to remove the commenting without
any noticeable effect.

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.
