 I'll never be able to validate ANY of my XSL doc? No... unless you do as Lars just suggested, and create an application-specific DTD for use in validating your stylesheet. This can be quite complicated; if XHTML were the result tree's vocabulary, for instance, you'd have to allow for the appearance of just about any XHTML element as a child of just about any XSLT element. As someone else said, almost no one bothers checking XSLT stylesheets for validity -- well-formedness is all right, as long as the XSLT processor (XT, SAXON, whatever) detects syntax and other XSLT-specific errors. Validity in the XML sense is not critical for XSLT. Actually, I'd guess that absolutely no one bothers to check validity of stylesheets; the "almost" is just a hedge. :) But may the good question is what to use as an XSL editor? I use a general-purpose text editor and suspect that may be the norm for others here (can't speak for them of course). I understand that Excelon's/ObjectDesign's commercial package Stylus includes a W3C-compliant XSL editior, but I haven't used it myself.
