You can use xsl:message.

The xsl:message instruction sends a message in a way that is dependent on the XSLT processor. The content of the xsl:message instruction is a template. The xsl:message is instantiated by instantiating the content to create an XML fragment. This XML fragment is the content of the message.

NOTE:An XSLT processor might implement xsl:message by popping up an alert box or by writing to a log file.

If the terminate attribute has the value yes, then the XSLT processor should terminate processing after sending the message. The default value is no.

<xsl:message
  terminate = "yes">
  <!-- Content: message describing the error -->
</xsl:message>
