On this particular point of IDEs for XML/XSLT people often talk about XMLSpy
which is quite good, but is not the only good commercial product. I would
like to mention TurboXML (from Tibco) wich is a good XML éditor (the one i
prefer, in fact).

For the specific XSL-T creation, you have to look at Excelon stylus studio.
It's amazing how it becomes easy to write and test XSL-T code.

This three products can be downloaded for evaluation, so you could try
before investing money. In fact, they are not very expansive in regards of
what they do.

A+ Cédric

NB : i have no commercial arrangement with any of this editors, it is just
for information :-)

There are (SG|X)ML, XSL and DTD Emacs modes for editing with syntax
highlighting, tag completion, DTD awareness, etc.  There is even a package
by Ovidiu Predescu (Thanks, OP) which does processing of stylesheets via
Saxon or Xalan from within Emacs.  Results can be previewed there or your
favorite browser.  I believe this tool allows for the processing of XSP
with command-line Cocoon, but I haven't used this feature.  I've used this
set-up under Windows, Linux and Solaris and found it quite solid.  Since
Emacs with JDE is my principal Java development environment this is a very
convenient setup.

Of the commercial tools, XMLSpy is quite well known.  Never used it.
