Since you are using XSLT 2.0 you could use xsl:result-document to create an
output file to hold the validation messages. Alternatively you might be able
to use xsl:message, by directing the xsl:message output to a suitable
destination.

Subject: [xsl] Flagging records that don't match a particular pattern
Hello - I am relatively new to xslt. I was wondering how to
flag records that don't match a pattern. I am going to be
iterating through about 8000 xml files in java transforming
them from one xml to another format required by a different
company. I know that I am going to miss some of the patterns
at first but was wondering if there's a way to flag the files
that don't match up and maybe write them to a seperate directory.
For example in matching author tags (<AU>Slade, Grant^Riggins,
John</Au>) - could I do something in the xsl:otherwise part?:
<xsl:template match="AU">
<contrib contrib-type="author">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains(., '^')">
<xsl:for-each select="tokenize(.,'\^')">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains(.,',')">
<name>
<surname>
<xsl:value-of
select="substring-before(.,',')"/>
</surname>
<given-names>
<xsl:value-of
select="substring-after(.,',')"/>
</given-names>
</name>
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>OUTPUT TO DIFFERENT DIRECTORY
HERE?</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</contrib>
</xsl:template>
