I think they are just after some metadata about the stylesheets - what
imports/includes what, what elements are matched, where named
templates are called from etc

I've had a similar requirement after being faced with large and nasty
old 1.0 messes where successions of Java/C# devs with a hint (if that)
of xslt knowledge have butchered them over several years...

In the end just stepping through the code was the only way to get an
understanding of it.  A tool that generated the above would be really
useful... a new sourceforge project anyone?
