Sure. Read http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#built-in-rule and then it should be
apparent why this simple stylesheet will (well, should) do what you want:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="comment()">
<xsl:copy/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="text()|@*"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>
