Both! The tool you want is sx. See:

http://www.jclark.com/sp/
http://www.jclark.com/sp/sx.htm

A simple example:

# type movie.dtd
<!ELEMENT movie - O (name,length,rating)>
<!ELEMENT name O O (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT length - O (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT rating - O (#PCDATA)>
<!ATTLIST length units (min|hour) min>

# type movie.sgml
<!DOCTYPE movie SYSTEM "movie.dtd">
<MOVIE>
Gladiator
<LENGTH UNITS="min">195
<RATING>MA

# sx movie.sgml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<MOVIE

<NAME
Gladiator</NAME><LENGTH

UNITS="MIN"

195</LENGTH><RATING
MA</RATING></MOVIE>

My recollection is that there were enough improvements made to osx to
use it over sx. (osx is the open source version of James Clark's sx
program. It is part of OpenSP, which was created by, and perhaps is
still maintained by, the OpenJade folks.)

In any case, although it's a bit old, you may find hte work of the
TEI task force on this topic helpful. It can be found at
http://www.tei-c.org/Activities/Workgroups/MI/. In particular, you
may find
http://www.tei-c.org/Activities/Workgroups/MI/miw03.xml#body.1_div.3_div.1
illuminating.

I note, however, that this is not really an XSLT question or issue,
so if you have further questions we should probably take them
off-list.
