For example, you could have input like: <title>a title</title> <body>the body</body> ...and you write a unit test to ensure the output contains a <title> - or you could have a result schema with a mandatory <title> element, the template which outputs the title could have an "as" attribute and if you had an input schema you could be sure your XPaths were actually selecting that title in the input. All of which seems preferable to the unit test. A lot of time, effort and money goes into testing, but for XSLT, I think that effort would be better spent on fully schema aware transforms than unit testing.
