Having said that, I suspect the weak point of most XSLT-based applications is
that they haven't been tested on a wide enough variety of data inputs.

(Compare my anecdote of the operating system that crashed when presented with
an upside-down deck of punched cards.)

Producing a sufficient variety of data inputs as test cases is a significant
challenge, and most people don't bother.
