There is a great tool for such kind of problems, a XSLT debugger : XSLTrace
from IBM/Lotus.

A small description from http://www.xmlsoftware.com/xsl/ :
"XSL Trace allows a user to visually "step through" an XSL transformation
script, highlighting the transformation rules as they are fired.
Additionally, an XSL Trace user can view the XML source and the
corresponding XML or HTML result in "real time". XSL Trace users can set and
remove "break points" on the style sheet and source document as well as
highlight all source nodes processed by each style rule. The XSL Trace UI
features an XML "source based" collapsable "tree view" with dynamic font
resizing for "Zooming" in/out to handle small/large documents."

It is downloadable at http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/xsltrace
