XSLTC throws a type check compile error on select18

Compile errors:
  Type check error in funcall(comment, []).

The problem is the following

   <xsl:for-each select="comment ()">

The XPATH spec in Section 3.7 says that that if a ( character 
follows a NCName even with intervening spaces, the NCName must be recognized 
as a node type or function name.
