The set of examples from Michael Kay's book is available 
from Wrox website. 

Even this set is from "vendor of XSLT engine", I highly 
recommend downloading those examples. When debugging 
XSLScript I was looking for some set of testcases that 
will cover many features of XSLT. I was surprized how diverse 
are those examples - they really could be considered a 
simple-but-reasonable  XSLT test suite!  

I think Michael's set is very handy for starters and 
it is also a nice test of conformance.

Be critical to advices from maling-lists. Period. ;-)
