Procedurally yes.... for XSLT IMHO no?
My mental model is all related to output?
Am I getting this, why am I not getting that?
Is this template 'working' (as I expect)

 ???
Last one duplicate of first?

I'm with Eliot, dumping output to terminal.
Increasing levels of output as I focus in,
decreasing level of $debug as I sort it out.
'Special' for a specific template?
<xsl:if $debug = 23>
