Which is the sense in which I used "black box". If the specification for the transform includes: 'art' becomes 'article' containing 'front/article-meta'. then you could use one of the unit testing frameworks to test that part of the specification without needing to look inside the stylesheet. You could also use Schematron (Debbie Lapeyre was teaching Schematron in the next timeslot) or other methods to do the same thing.
