I'd say XSLT (or any translation system) was _entirely_ unsuitable for
an editing system. If you're editing the source through some kind of
back links from a transformed document, who knows what will result.

For an editor you want an annotated view of the source tree (which might
look nothing like the document) and for that you want a styling paradigm
that's more like.... hmm.. CSS.
