XSLT IDEs already provide basic intellisense given an input document, but that could be so much better given a schema. Imagine a nice red underline below an incorrect XPath, or control-spacing your way down from the root. Or perhaps renaming an element in the schema and having it renamed throughout your stylesheet (and beyond that - renaming it in an XPath and it being changed throughout). Writing XPaths should be a case of "slash, ctrl->space, enter, slash, ctrl->space, enter" :) Equally, doing something like <head/> in a schema aware transform to XHTML should result in a nice underline, with the option to auto-complete all required elements (meta and title iirc) -- Andrew Welch http://andrewjwelch.com Kernow: http://kernowforsaxon.sf.net/
