querying comment nodes

Hi,

For the debugging of a couple of complex stylesheets, I make use of
comments that are inserted in the output XML documents. Since my
testbase generates quite a lot of output, it would be nice to query them
using eXist. However, I noticed that full-text searching on comment
nodes doesn't produce any results.

If I have following test document (in, say, '/db/test/test.xml'):
<test>
  <!-- first comment -->
  <element><subelement>text</subelement></element>
  <!-- second comment -->
  <element><subelement>text</subelement></element>
</test>

I notice following behaviour:
    -doc('/db/test/test.xml')//comment(): returns all comments [OK]
    -doc('/db/test/test.xml')//comment()[matches(., '.*')]: returns all
comments [OK]
    -doc('/db/test/test.xml')//comment()[matches(., 'first')]: returns
nothing [NOT OK]

Have I missed something, or is this not yet implemented in eXist (tested
in java client of eXist-1.3.0dev, rev. 7579)?

Kind regards,

Ron
