There have been several attempts, and at least one in-depth research
project (at INRIA) into how to do this. They've all stumbled up against
the same problem: there is an infinite number of "things" people want to
do with the output, so it is impossible to write a generalised XSLT GUI.
All you can do is write one to cover a sepcified subset of features and
hope those are the ones your users want. I've used Spy and it's fine --
within the limits is sets. Unfortunately I want to do other things it
can't do unaided, so I go back to using XSLide.

Followups set to c.t.x -- this really has nothing whatever to do with Java.
