An old (and very limited and focused) one I published in 2003 is 
available here:

  http://www.CraneSoftwrights.com/resources/acid

... which only tests the support of entities by the XML processor 
used in the XSLT processor.  I use entities in my stylesheets and way 
back when some XSLT processors had problems reading my 
stylesheets.  I created this test with an extreme and contrived 
example which incorporates the XML features I use in a more 
meaningful approach in my work.

It does not test XSLT functionality, which is what I know you are 
asking for, but it does test an aspect of XSLT processing that an 
XSLT test suite may not incorporate:  the appropriate support of XML 
features by the XML processor.

I hope this helps.
