 What exactly does xsltproc's (that is: LibXSLT's) non-compliance

I don't know in full at all. Others on this list might be able to do
better.

The one thing I do know is that is doesn't complain if you code
select= rather than match= on an xsl:template.

Thanks for your answer, Colin. This oddity is good to know about.
Actually, xsltproc doesn't seem to complain if you add random
attributes as in:

The template is simply ignored, as it won't match anything. This may
actually bite you when you don't spot the mistake and wonder why your
output isn't as expected. So when in doubt, consult an alternative
processor. Might save a lot of time.

Not a show-stopper.

I'd still be interested to know if (a) there is more to LibXSLT's
non-conformance and (b) if there is anything like a test suite in
order to determine a processor's degree of conformance.
