Michael Kay has a chapter on this in his book:
http://www.amazon.com/XSLT-XPath-Programmers-Reference-Programmer/dp/0470192747

He identifies and explains four XSLT design patterns:
Fill-in-the-blanks stylesheets
Navigational stylesheets
Rule-based stylesheets
Computational stylesheets

XSLTers don't seem to have drunk the pattern kool-aid to the extent that
Java and, it now seems, C++ programmers have, though I did get a similar
question about XSL-FO patterns a week or so ago at my XML Summer School
session on XSLT and XSL-FO.

13-or-so years of XSL-List hasn't crystallised into a set of standard
patterns AFAICT (and Meunchian grouping for XSLT 1.0 was probably the
closest we came to a standard pattern).

A few spring to mind - the identity transform, sibling recursion,
specific-imports-common, micro-pipelining etc.
