Hi Guys,
I thought it was time to summarise the features I've asked for ;)
Improve XSLT SenseX: At present the XSD schema editor knows from the context what the only relevant elements are for that point. Unfortunately the XSLT editor just gives you everything, even though restricting what's available could be just as readily determined from the context.
XSLT Profiling: I've written my own (using XSLT naturally) but it takes exponentially longer to reprocess the profiling information for each layer of statistics and analysis I want to perform. At a minimum, could you please at least dump an XML that effectively traces the execution path through the XSLT and that shows the net time and time on entry and exit to a particular template. Including other execution information like the name of the source file, totals for all the templates, names/matches/modes of templates never executed, etc. would be extremely handy too.

We are aware of this; this is not being addressed in the work we are doing
for the next major release of Stylus.

We have done work in this area. You will see that in 5.0
