We did a discussion of _how_ to create self-documenting XSL-files a while back, but not as much to _what_ to document.

Basically you can insert top-nodes in an XSL-file at will, and you need to protect embedded documentation nodes to suppress them during normal operation.

What would you expect documentation to be for an XSL-file?
