Well, I think I've done the easy stuff. Please find the attached
test-to-domc.xsl. The not-so-easy stuff appears to be:

o The assertions assume certain type evaluations can be made like
  assertEquals might warrant == or strcmp.
o The for-each loop is not right but largely because ...
o I need a List type
o Memory management is not considered at all and would probably require
  modification of the templates.

BTW: Saxon failed miserably with the Java suite. Are you sure
the problem is with the parsers? It's not entirely clear to me how to
specify a larger heap size a la -Xmx with Ant's style task but that
would be something to look at. My stylesheet doesn't appear to trigger
the issue at all for some reason (less output generated maybe).
