I would say they all work properly, they just may not have the authoring 
interface *you* desire.  I believe you are talking about authoring the XSLT 
stylesheet, not about the XSLT processing per-se.  Authoring the XSLT 
stylesheet is outside the scope of the Recommendation.  Today's XSLT 
processors are working just fine and are meeting many production needs.

Such interfaces are on their way ... see Whitehill Technologies' 
http://www.whitehill.com/products/prod4.html for one such product on the 
horizon (I haven't used this myself, yet, I'm just aware of its imminent 
availability).

There will always be an important role for command-line invocation for XSLT 
processors.
