It seems every couple of months this question comes up. I have probably had this rant before, but I don't understand, is what this is actually asking for? XSLT converts XML into other forms of XML, HTML or plain text. So the first question is what do you want represent. The second question is do you have a single bit of XML you want to convert to your selected output or do you want some God-like tool that will work with any XML? In my opinion, as XSLT WYSIWYG tool is missing the point of XSLT. A tool that will allow you to write some defined XML that can be converted via an XSLT into something pretty is doable (you could probably use any XHTML rich text editor), but a tool that converts any XML into some pretty output is probably impossible.
