I'm not 100% sure I understand what your proposed editor would do, but I 
wonder if you've looked at Excelon's Stylus? 
(http://www.objectdesign.com/products/excelon_stylus.html) I haven't used 
it extensively but it's a very interesting product. Three panes: one for 
the XML source, one for the XSLT source, and one (read-only) displaying the 
XML source as rendered into HTML using the XSLT. They've got their own 
"fully-compliant" XSLT processor built in, or you can use the old XSL 
processor that comes with IE5 (although why you'd want to, I can't 
imagine). As I understand it, the display pane is IE5 (which is bundled 
with the editor) -- it displays the HTML result tree from whichever 
processor you've chosen.



A 30-day evaluation version can be downloaded. Purchase price is $199. 
Specs say that it's for NT or Win2000 only, but I ran it on my creaking 
Win95 machine without hitches.



[Disclaimer: I have no connection with the product or the company other 
than as someone who once downloaded the product and tried it out.]
