I was thinking of using the canvas to render rectangular areas that can be 
clicked and dragged etc; nice for visual inspection of the results.  Mind 
you, a tree would be useful as well, for systematic "structural" browsing.  
(You probably want GtkTreeView for that; it's much better than the old GTK 
1.* widgets)

I wasn't aware this was possible...  and if you manage to do it I'll be very 
interested in finding out how :-)  I've (briefly) looked for "incremental" 
XSLT engines but couldn't find any.
