Re: [docbook-apps] xsl/xhtml: passing through comments

Hi Sam,
The following-sibling axis means any sibling that follows, not necessarily
the immediately following sibling. To test the immediately following
sibling, you need to add a [1] position counter.  I think you need something
like this:

<xsl:if test="not(following-sibling::node()[1][self::comment()])">

This selects the first node of any kind that follows, and then tests to see
if it is a comment.
(I didn't test this, but I think it will work).
