Andrew,
My apologies, I missed the footnote in my initial reading of your
original message. The two points I was trying to make were:
1. there are (generally speaking) two kinds of testing that need to
be performed on stylesheets:
a) Black-box testing of the whole stylesheet, and
b) Unit (white-box) testing of the functions/named templates.
2. both of these testing concepts apply to XSLT 1.0 just as much as to
2.0.
Regards,
Steve Ball

Personally I don't think you can unit test XSLT*, it's only really
worthwhile to test the output for a given set of inputs.
You can certainly unit test functions, as Mike Kay points out
If you include the starred footnote along with the quote, you'll see
that I said that:
"* Maybe with 2.0 and user defined functions it might be worthwhile,
but to ensure your transforms are doing the right thing, I think the
only approach it to check the output for a given set of inputs."
It's a bit off to quote something that references a relevant footnote
and not include the footnote itself.
