This would be hard, since Trix-Trix comparison is not yet defined. This is one of the things currently being discussed on www-archive as some of us try and improve the formal model underneath Trix. More positively, jena.rdfcompare [1] can read two N-triples files and tell you whether they are the same or not. It implements graph equivalence as defined by RDF Concepts. I would be surprised if other toolkits do not provide similar functionality. Hence I would suggest running the test suite thus: XSLT from RDF/XML => N-triples use jena.rdfcompare to ompare the answer with the correct result.
