The p:log instruction is one possible tool for debugging. The other, if you're using Calabash is the cx:message extension step. The former writes what appears on a port out to a URI and the latter writes to stdout. They're both very useful. Note: in oXygen you need to got to the XML/XProc preferences and select 'Show XProc Messages' is you want to see cx:message output.

I think the biggest impediment to my understanding is the inability to 
see what the XProc processor is seeing.  I get error messages about this 
or that not being XML, but no way to actually view the data that has 
caused the problem.  With XSLT I can always spit out a message, and see 
the junk data first-hand.
