So is it actually using the XSLT in the conversion?

I hate to say this, but you really need a better idea how Filemaker
handles things internally.  I don't know what resources are out there
for that.

What you've posted to say simply, is a bit confusing.  Perhaps someone
with more time will be able to help.

You should be able to give Filemaker an identity transform and get out
the exact xml out.
<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
 <xsl:copy>
   <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
 </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
straight from the specs:

http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt

Put that in a stylesheet and no other templates and you'll get the xml
that's handed in at that point in the pipleline, although I have no
idea if this will work entirely because I don't really know Filemaker
all that well.

Get the xml output via the above method and then run Saxon or another
similar tool.
