They talk about "XSLT support" and "Preview transformation results" but
no mention of a debugger.

I was most interested in the Unicode support (and Hebrew with vowels are 
supported; I heard about this on the HebrewComputing list) and the fact 
that it will generate a schema or DTD from an instance document--very 
useful to me, if it works.

It also handles W3c Schemas, DTDs, RELAXNG and NRL.

Yes, this was attractive.

Understood. I wasn't suggesting it for OSIS users; I'm still looking for
an editor for my own use. I'm moving our MORPH database into xml format,
and an editor would be nice for development.

Thanks for the feedback. I'd be interested in the experience of anyone 
else: does anyone use oxygenxml as their primary XML editor?

Blessings,

Kirk
