I'm useing debian gnu/linux potato/frozen/to-be-2.2 with jdk1.2.2
and the latest xml.apache.org packages: xalan, xerces, fop
most people will use the emacs editor with it's xml mode,
but i'm a vim user.

that with the usual X11 environment (Xfree86, gnome desktop, netscape ...).

the problems i have so far: i found no command line validator for xml files.
the xsl transition does the validating, but it takes 5 seconds to parse the
xsl file (and parsing the xml file is the second step)...

it's definitiv not a replacement for word (for most word users).
