Hi Lionel,
Thank you for your response.

This is something i wouldn't need to alter. In my view, the user should
only be able to alter the text representation of texts from the xml
directly. Structural changes would be made directly in the xml tree.
I would like to have the user add or remove nodes in the xml, if the
Schema would allow it, and provide him with convenience methods to do so.
Of course, for every part of the xml, in which child text elements
do not render by the xslt, selection of the underlying xml nodes is not
possible, so a specialised editor (complementary to the xslt), should
provide functionality to alter these parts of the xml in another way,
either by property sheets or by something else.

Looks great, i will have a deep look in it later.
