I'm wondering how you test your xslt stylesheets.
I've found a few projects addressing this, for example:
http://xspec.googlecode.com/
http://utf-x.sourceforge.net/
But most of these tools seem to be abandoned or their mailing list low
traffic. I wonder why that may be:
Isn't it very common to develop an xslt and then refactor it? Wouldn't a
test suite help in this situation? How about test driven development?
The limitations I found with xspec is:
- You can only set style sheet parameters once for a test suite. So if
you want to run a number of tests that mostly manipulate style sheet
parameters, you'd have to put each of the tests in its own suite.
Or you'd have to slightly change your xslt
(http://code.google.com/p/xspec/wiki/WritingScenarios#Global_Parameters)
- test for call-template and also provide an xml fragment:

Thank you
