Is it possible to log/capture which XSL templates are used and/or not used during an XML transform using lxml? I'm looking to report on and prune unused templates to reduce "technical debt".

Use unittests and prune based on test failures? If the tests fail, the template was being used? – Martijn Pieters Mar 26 '13 at 14:05

lxml's transform methods allow you to profile a transformation, and obtain the results as an XML document which shows how many times a pattern/mode/named-template was used. It should be possible to then perform an XPath across the XSL files to obtain all the comparative patterns/modes/named-templates and compare the two lists to see which templates are most/least used.
