Matching on comment() doesn't work

Question

Hello,
Matching with comment() using the Java API in the XDK doesn't seem to work, but works with the xsl program included in the XDK (using XDK 10.1, and xsl is located in the bin directory).
I have style sheet with only this template:
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:message>Comment count:
<xsl:value-of select="count(//comment())"/>
</xsl:message>
<xsl:for-each select="//comment">
<xsl:copy/>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
I run the template on the same xml file.
With the xsl utility it returns the comment count correctly and outputs all the comments.
With a short Java program I wrote, it outputs zero for the count and of course no comments in the output.
Do you see anything I did wrong in the Java program?
StreamSource xslInput = new StreamSource(new FileInputStream(xslFile));
StreamSource xmlInput = new StreamSource(new FileInputStream(xmlFile));
StreamResult xmlOutput = new StreamResult(System.out);
// Writes xml results to the console
Transformer xsl = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer(xslInput);
xsl.transform(xmlInput, xmlOutput);
Thanks,
Leon

Its a bug with the XDK. The program above was written using XDK and JDK 1.3 (which doesn't have XML APIs).
I recompiled and ran my program using JDK 1.4 and removed the XDK from my classpath. The program and XSL work fine.
Anyone have a work around?
