it seems to me you need mainly to match templates, right? how about you copy
the node of a template into a parameter, then compare it with what you got
in $file2

something like:
(I prefer using the temp prefix for the xsl namespace if I'm matching
against xsl)
<temp:template match="xsl:template">
<temp:param name="match" select="@match"/>
<temp:param name="templatContent"><xsl:copy-of select="."/></xsl:param>
<temp:apply-templates select="$doc//xsl:template[@match=$match]">
<temp:with-param name="templatContent" select="$templatContent"/>
</temp:apply-templates>
</temp:template>
obviously that doesn't do the whole thing but that way you can build a
matcher, for example with
 <temp:if test="contains($doc//xsl:template/@match,$match)">
or so on
