Yes, debugging is definetly one way to understand a
stylesheet, I think sometimes the best way to totally
comprehend how some transformation works. But this is some
timeconsuming method, and after a couple of minutes one
forgets which template came when etc :) So I think debugging
and trace output are great to get in-depth knowledge about
the stylesheet, but not for getting a first impression or
overlook about the XSL.
Thanks for your help.
