A while back George from Sync.Ro Soft donated 10 licenses of Oxygen to the Saxon.NET project --

NOTE: Thanks again George! Everyone -- especially Kurt Cagle -- loves your editor, especially the debugger which is the portion that I use -- jEdit for raw development (although emacs is now on my slate for testing out) and Oxygen for debugging)

-- anyway, I know version 4.2 (I think thats the right version #) had support for XSLT 2.0 and included additional annotations in an intellisense style format which was very helpful. I havent had a chance to take a look at version 5.0 (George, will the licenses we have for 4.2 work with 5.0?) but from I have heard its pretty impressive. As far as the XPath validity (I'm assuming you would want both syntax and real-time parsing of the XML source to determine if the XPath being written goes out of scope from the source XML?) I can't say for sure, but I am guessing that George will be more than happy to answer those questions for you.

Best regards,

I'm looking for a new XSLT IDE that integrates the new schema aware
functionality of 2.0; for example underlining any Xpath's I write that
aren't 'possible' (looking for the correct word there) according to the
given schema.  I would also like it to underline any match patterns that
aren't possible.  A bonus point would be given if I could see the
element children / attributes for the context node whilst in the middle
of writing the Xpath (with type information).

I don't know if any of the above is available now, on the horizon, or
even feasible, but they are top of my wishlist.
