One of my colleagues has written a code coverage plugin for Saxon; he

an XSLT file are executed. I think this empirical approach could get you
a quick answer to the problem without the need for deep analysis.  He
has been planning to release the package as open source, but I don't
think he has done that yet -- still I'm sure you could whip something
up, and I bet your users would appreciate it, too.

XSpec has had a coverage report facility for a while [1][2] that (probably
similarly) uses a Saxon debugging output to work up a list of visited
lines in the source stylesheet.
