Thank you, that's very useful. Here's a line from a poem

	  <lg n="7" type="quatrain">
	    <l n="1">
	      <app>
		<rdg wit="H">
		  <ps>
		    <fn>
		      <sic>Chór</sic>
		    </fn>
		  </ps>
		  mh'ainm ann</rdg>
		<rdg wit="Eg">Mór m' ainm-si an</rdg>
	      </app>
	      gach baile buan.</l>
	    <l n="2">inghion <ps><fn>Aodha</fn></ps> fa geal gruad</l>
	    <l n="3"><ps><fn>Sithrioch</fn></ps> mo chéile ann
	      gach cath.</l>
	    <l n="4">Mac <ps><fn>Turgeis</fn></ps> na
	      t-tréan-chreach.</l>
	  </lg>

The root element type is TEI.2 and the xpointer to the <sic> element is 
root.child(1,#element,'TEXT').child(1,#element,'BODY').child(1,#element,'DIV0').child(29,#element,'DIV1').child(6,#element,'LG').child(1,#element,'L').child(1,#element,'APP').child(1,#element,'RDG').child(1,#element,'PS').child(1,#element,'FN').child(1,#element,'SIC')
so the <sic> element is 15 deep in the tree.

What editors and rendering engines would be suitable to replace 
oXygen/Emacs and XSLT?
