This is how I'm usually pinpointing issues with stylesheets...
First, for every formatted output bit (xref, para, table title, table cell, chapter title etc), there is a responsible part in your stylesheet.
If something is outputed not as you expect, then you should change your stylesheet. To find what to modify/correct, first you have to find what in particular in the stylesheet causes the "issue".
You can do brainstorming/deduction, but in complex situations or if you're not experienced enough or you're just having a bad day, it may not help - you're adding the required formatting, but are not getting expected output. Usually it means you're editing wrong content/condition rule in the stylesheet. But could also be due to deriving property values or property values are set in Property Sets or other things.
In this case I usually add some "bizarre" formatting to all the possible context/condition rules (or property sets). E.g. text color=red, text color=purple etc. So when I see the published document, I can say for sure which context/condition rule is responsible for the "incorrect" output. So you can give more insight to the rule and pinpoint the issue.
This is what I call "tracing stuff". Hope it helps.
