It would be interesting to know if there are readers on this list who
actually make use of units test during XSLT development and what their
experiences are.

I've also always found unit testing XSLT a little too painful to
actually get on with and *do* - especially when working on pre-existing
code.

However, I've recently been getting promising results by generating
XSpec tests from a set of requirement docs filled in by stakeholders -
these still need some dev massage before they're ready to produce
working scenarios, but in the context of this particular project, it's
proving a good way to both discipline the code (not to mention the
coder...) and prevent regressions, and provide a window on to the things
stakeholders care about - i.e. what goes in and what comes out, rather
than what happens on the inside.
