The Eddie2 tool i use generates such templates automaticlly, one for
each element in the input DTD (yes, DTD right now, not schema), that
produces an xsl:message with more information;  e.g.
  element wing has attribute is-broken=yes, value not allowed in target
DTD

But this can only catch unhandled elements, uncopied attributes.

A possible approach to checking the text might be to replace each text
string with a successive number, eg. [1] [2] and so on, before the
transform, and make sure all the numbers are present in the output.

I would do this process in separate transforms so it, too,  could be
checked.
