I presume these comments exist in your XML source and
you want to pass them through?
You can add a template such as this to your customization
layer to print comments.  This one selects comments within
<para> tags, but you can set your own match.

<xsl:template match="para/comment()">
  <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;!--</xsl:text>
  <xsl:value-of select="."/>
  <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">--&gt;</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
                  
If you are generating the comments from XML elements
or attributes, then you can still use the <xsl:text>
method to output them, but with a different <xsl:value-of>.
