What XSLT engine are you actually using?  My understanding is that PHP
uses libxslt natively, and when I try to process your sample files with
xsltproc, it tells me:

XPath error : Invalid expression
@entryDate ne realDate/date
           ^
compilation error: file http://menology.obdurodon.org/xsl/readFile.xsl
line 23 element if

If you have XSLT 2.0 constructs, youbll need a different XSLT engine.
If you are using an XSLT 2.0 engine, then never mind, the problem lies
elsewhere...
