[jdom-interest] comments lost for xslt

[Laurent Bihanic]

Hi,

XML comments are reported through the SAX LexicalHandler interface. Support 
for this interface in JDOM was introduced with JDOM beta 8.
If you are using an earlier version of JDOM, comments are not made available 
to the XSLT processor; you should upgrade. If you are using JDOM beta 8... 
there's a bug!
