Are there XML / XSL editors that can show transformations in real time?

I am converting all of our Crystal Reports to use our home reporting system. Basically I am serializing report objects to XML, transforming them using XSL to HTML / CSS. Everything works beautifully except for the design process.

Once I get the XML correct, I have to open XSL and CSS in SciTE, edit, restart IE, smear, rinse, repeat. I would love it if there was an XML / XSL editor that could show the transformation in real time and speed up my process. Can anyone provide any guidance?

You can use Altova XmlSpy to create / edit xml / xslts, get xslt outputs, make calls to a web service, evaluate xqueries on a database, and many other things. It is a very powerful versatile xml tool. License required.
