Jürgen and everyone-- XSL-List is a fine place to discuss XSL editing packages! We can make life easier for each other by pooling our experience in this area. FWIW, XMetaL won't be much use as an XSL editor, since for most of its nice functionalities it relies on a stable DTD, which is impossible for XSLT, at least in the general case. Also, like many or most structured editors it has a UI that privileges element content over attribute values, which is less than ideal for XSLT. (I do think XMetaL is the best tool around for what it was designed for -- and XMetaL 2.0 is supposed to have better editing without a DTD.) I'm still using a jazzed-up text editor (syntax coloring, code clippings, user-configured tools), though I just downloaded XMLSpy to try. We'll see: old habits are hard to break.
