[xsl] Processing source in a text format : visual aid

["Siarhei Biarozkin" <sberyozkin at zandar dot com>]

Hello group,
I've a following question regarding text transformation, where text is not a
well-formed XML, but just a sequence of characters , say, a comma-separated
text file.

As I've read in an excellent book on XSLT, one way to do it is to write my
own XMLReader, which will parse the text and send SAX events to the XSLT
processor, which will apply a stylesheet to this stream.

We'd like our customers be able to create their own stylesheets when they
wish so, the problem is they can't see the result of the original text being
transformed into a well-formed xml. The text itself will be coming from the
simple device.

So, it there any toolkit available, which can help in visualizing the
process ? Ideally it would allow to install a custom XMLReader, which will
accept text strings as parameters, and then this toolkit will show the
resulting XML fragment, and then it would be much easier to build stylesheet
for these fragments.

Thanks
