Although he hasn't followed this principle, James Clark has published
his implementation notes for the derivation method as Haskell snippets:

http://www.thaiopensource.com/relaxng/implement.html

That's a must read for anyone considering writing an implementation of
RELAX NG!

I ***think*** that you could follow these notes in XSLT 1.0 assuming you
have a node-set extension and the few stuff I have seen of FXSL makes me
think that it could help in this task. 

Eric (wishing he'd have enough time to give it a try)

PS: If that may be of interest, I have published a set of
transformations that transform a RELAX NG schema into its simple form:
http://downloads.xmlschemata.org/relax-ng/utilities/ (these are the
transformations I have used to illustrate the section about
simplification in my RELAX NG book:
http://books.xmlschemata.org/relaxng/relax-CHP-15-SECT-1.html )
