I've been using Oxygen for several months now but I don't know if I
can give you any best practices for it. I use it mainly for coding
XSLT and XSL-FO, and secondly for editing regular XML files. Its
editor has many useful features for editing XML. I use its spellcheck
a lot. I use its structure tree a lot. I also use its XML-aware diff
tool, which I find very useful in merging versions of XML files. I
have set it up so I can do XSLT transforms with a keystroke.
The Jeni Tennison XSLT books (Beginning XSLT, Beginning XSLT 2.0)
give a lot of good tutorial-type info on XPath, but it is in relation
to using it with XSLT. I have not taken the time yet to figure out
how to use the Oxygen XPath tools. I had already written extensive
XPath manually before using Oxygen.
