I don't know how it works, or how well, but Notepad++ has a menu item for XSL transform. I use XML Spy for the functionality, so I can't say how good it is or is not.

Also, another "EASY"(well.. easy once you have the xslt file done), is to simply include the xst reference in your xml and open in a browser. From what I have read, there are some limitations, but for the simple cases, you can build most normal html structures such as tables and such and/or use css styling.

If one were to install Perl and a few extra specific xml modules, I could write up a simple command line script to output a transformed file in about 10 lines or so.
