I'm testing XML transformations in Perl (not XSLT, but XS on top of libxml2) 
with Test::More, comparing the transformation's result with a precomputed 
value, and it's a pain - different versions of libxml2 keep changing the 
generated text (mostly whitespace, but also namespace declarations and other 
"non-semantic" changes), breaking my tests. I must admit the pain hadn't been 
sharp enough to drive me to an alternative yet, :-) but if you know any, I 
certainly would like to hear about it...
