                                                 ^^^^^^^^^
Probably you have something commented out which already
contained a comment, either in your XML or XSL. Get an
XML editor with syntax highlighting and hunt for "--" in
comments, some products will even give you a precise
error location. Replace it with "- -" or whatever.
