I have not come across XSLStyle before, but it looks like just what I am 
after.
(For XML-Schema, I am medium-happy with what you get, but  have always 
wished
that the set of allowed sub-elements/usual output format was docbook 
rather than html)

For Stylesheet documentation, my ideal would allow images that include 
pdf; this is because
the design brief can often be given in the form:
1. here is the XML you will get
2. here is the kind of __appearance__ we want you to create 
automatically (platform
   indedendent, fonts, colours, and all)

But then, quite a lot of my XSL-T is designed to produce pdf output 
anyway, among other
formats.

Yours Sincerely,
Ken.
