you assume we are all Java heads, I think. 

anyway, when I want to view a file I am working on, I hit
"reload" in my web browser. The fact that it points to
http://localhost/foo/bar/index.xml rather than file:///foo/bar/index.xml
is immaterial. It is a lot easier than going to a command line
and running a transform, clogging up my hard disk with rubbish HTML,
and then firing up the browser. 

really, I am not being awkward. Having AxKit sit on my local
web server looking after all the dull work really is efficient
and pleasant to work with. the only occasion I run a processor
by hand is when its doing a big job like transforming my gravestones,
which is a 10 minute job.
