Great, thanks

It's not laziness or disinclination that has lead to the lack of reply to
comment 8, but rather confusion.  Quoting from comment 8:

> testing what happens when the XML file or the XSL file (or both)
> are malformed

I can easily transform any or all of the tests already attached here to be
ill-formed in those ways, but I have no idea what kind of result report you
would need

> testing what happens with various MIME types for the XSL file

Can you point me to a parallel set of tests for xml-stylesheet type='text/css'
so I can see how you expect this to be done?

Not sure I have the necessary expertise to do this -- maybe Norm Walsh can help
here?  I recall recently running across a bunch of xsl-stylesheet tests you had
written, can't remember where, which might have begun to cover this???

Not sure this gives you enough to work with, but I've attached a further set of
tests in this space.  Note also Julian Reshke's offer at comment 7.
