Hi,

I'm attempting to transform one XML file into another.  The only
modification I want to make is to add IDs to div elements.  That part
works correctly; however, I'm having trouble processing comments.  I'm
probably missing something very elementary and that's probably why I'm
having such a hard time seeing what's wrong.  I'm using saxon.

As you can see, I'm not getting comments in the output.

If this proves too easy, I have another question, too.  Elements without
content, given in the XML source file as "<head></head>", show up in the
output as self-terminating, e.g. "<head/>".  Is there a way to force
saxon to output both start and end tags?
