Well, there is a very interesting discussion going on xalan-dev, regarding
an XSLT debugger. I saw a demo - and you can execute a XSLT step-by-step,
see the line in the source xml that is processed, etc.
Yes, mapping the line numbers is a missing feature in our code, but there
are already people who made this work ( while using jasper with a
debugger ). I hope someone will contribute some code back.
