You donbt.

But you know what your input is, and you know what your transformation
rules are, so you should be able to deduce what your output tree is.

E.g.,

<xsl:template match="Book">
  <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="ancestor::A[@id = current()/@id]">
      <!-- do something... -->
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise>
      <!-- do something else ... -->
    </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
