Apropos of discussions on "SGML-aware" software, the "Lector"
application developed at the University of Waterloo may be of
interest to TEI-L readers. It shows how descriptively marked-up
text and electronic stylesheets can be used interactively to
generate multiple text views, etc. The bibliographic reference
and abstract are provided below.

ABSTRACT: Lector is an X.11 aplication that provides highly
interactive text formatting. Unlike text previewers, Lector
handles descriptively marked-up text, supports multiple styles,
and interacts well with other programs, including other
invocations of Lector. Appropriate selection of texts and styles
enables Lector to act as a text previewer, database browser, code
prettyprinter, menu utility, and iconic interface. Lector's
implementation revolves around a set of tradeoffs involving
efficiency, simplicity and generality. The result demonstrates
the utility of generalized text display tools.
