Evan -- Most likely you have whitespace text nodes between the element nodes and the preceding comment. Try substituting this for your first for-each below and see what happens: <xsl:for-each select="element/../node()"> <childnode><xsl:value-of select="."/></childnode> </xsl:for-each> This should show you if the comment node does, indeed, immediately preceded the element node.
