are stand alone processors that would be operated from a command line or
driven by another application. I recommend getting into a commercial XML
development tool instead of a stand alone processor if you just need to do
an occasional transformation. It'll have a GUI and have many useful
features. I use XML Spy from Altova. XMetal from SoftQuad is also popular.
There are lots of great books out there on XSLT. I'm not a programmer but
have learned to do my own transformations from XML to xHTML.

the work can be automated. You might want to check out the scripting
capabilities of InDesign. Most XML features are scriptable.
