I'm writing XSL and I want to make comments throughout the code that will be stripped when it's processed, like PHP, however I'm not sure how.
I'm aware of the comment object, but it prints out an HTML comment when processed. :\
<xsl:comment>comment</xsl:comment>

The <xsl:comment> element is used to create a comment node in the result tree.
XSLT <xsl:text> The <xsl:text> element is used to write literal text to the output. Tip: This element may contain literal text, entity references, and #PCDATA.
An XSLT style sheet can emit HTML <STYLE> elements, including CSS specifications, directly into the HTML that results from the XSLT transformation. This option works best when the number of CSS rules is small and easily managed.
The standard way to transform XML data into other formats is by Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT). You can use the built-in XSLTRANSFORM function to convert XML documents into HTML, plain text, or different XML schemas. XSLT uses stylesheets to convert XML into other data formats.
Just make sure that you put your <!-- comments --> AFTER the opening XML declaration (if you use one, which you really don't need):
BREAKS:
<!-- a comment --> <?xml version="1.0"?> WORKS:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <!-- a comment --> I scratched my head on this same issue for a bit while debugging someone else's XSLT... seems obvious, but easily overlooked.

You use standard XML comments:
<!-- Comment --> These are not processed by the XSLT transformer.
