Any XML gui tools out there?

I have a copy of Stylus Studio and would be willing to write some simple stylesheets for you guys.

Could you post a screenshot or pdf of a sample report that you have created using a stylesheet? I have never seen an end-result with xml. Everyone always talks about about what you can do, but I've never seen anyone do it and print it out. So I'd be really interested in something where you've taken an xml file, styled it using Stlyus Studio, and now have a nice-looking report. Thanks, I'd really appreciate it.

Ok well it's not very 'pretty' because this is a bit of a dry old manifest, but basically we go from this:
Input XML

through the stylesheet, to create this

At this point you have complete control over the layout, since the stylesheet is turning your XML into HTML. In otherwords, you're telling the stylesheet what to look for in the XML, and then how to present it using HTML commands.
So it appears nicely in your browser and from there you can print, save etc.

I use the FREE XML Pad (http://www.wmhelp.com/xmlpad3.htm). I used to use XML Spy (expensive, but awesome).
