I haven't used XSLTUnit, but on the other hand, your posting made me aware of its existence.  (Thanks!)

I have done similar things by hand, namely apply a stylesheet to the output that contains statements like:

	<xsl:if test="[assertion]">
		<test:bad message="blah blah blah" />
	</xsl:if>

And then do a doc.getElementsByTagName() to the output DOM to catch all of the failed assertions.
