Not yet Maurice ;-)
Firstly I don't think XSLT testing is anything like mature.
We can learn lessons from junit in the java world etc,
The 'hardware' test arena is using XML, for test specifications,
test results etc (Google ATML, ieee.org). Oasis is looking
at test specs, W3C have drifted that way a little, but
nothing concrete in the odd XSLT world.

Until the task is scoped well it's hard to define
what will satisfy the 80%? No group has
got together to even start that.
