One suggestion for conformance testing (not as silly as it seems) is
that you should construct the source data model using XSLT. That way,
it's well defined what data model you get from a given input.


An interesting idea. The problem is you're not testing what most people are doing. This still allows a processor to convert all actual documents to <foo/> on input. On the other hand, it would at least require all processors to implement most (perhaps all?) of the spec so implementations couldn't be so trivial.
