Hi, 

i have tried:

<xsl:variable select="1"
name="var"><!--comment--></xsl:variable>

but the same error: XSLT-variable: The must be no child nodes, since
the attribute 'select' was specified.

Thank you for your bug report.

Can you also reproduce it if you remove the whitespace between the
variable tags? In your example, the variable element would have a text
child node with some whitespace in it. Technically, this is not allowed
since the variable tag should have no content at all.

Description:
------------
I have a lot of XSL files which i want to process with the libxml
XSLTProcessor. But the XSLTProcessor returns Error at xsl:variable with
a comment inside. I don´t know exactly if this is a bug but i think so.

I know that i should use either a select attribute or child nodes in
the variable to define the variable. but shouldn´t comments be ignored
in that way?

Reproduce code:
---------------
the variable in the xsl file:

doesnt work!:
<xsl:variable select="1" name="var" >
   <!-- comment -->
</xsl:variable>

works:
<xsl:variable select="1" name="var" />

works too:
<xsl:variable name="var" >
   <!-- comment -->
</xsl:variable>

Expected result:
----------------
transformed XML

Actual result:
--------------
Error 1: compilation error: file file:///C:/Programme/xampp/test01.xsl
line 4 element variable Line: 0 Column: 0 Error 1: XSLT-variable: The
must be no child nodes, since the attribute 'select' was specified.
Line: 0 Column: 0
