If appending to a file were allowed, the results of the stylesheet would depend on the order of execution of instructions. XSLT is designed to avoid such dependencies. There is however an instruction xsl:message. It is documented that the order in which messages are output is implementation-defined. Implementors can provide control over the destination of xsl:message, allowing it to be used for the kind of logging applications you describe. This can be done with XSLT 1.0 - it doesn't even need any XSLT 2.0 enhancements (though in the Saxon implementation, appending the results of xsl:message to a file does require you to write some Java code).
