You mean like Author/Editor? AdeptEditor? Frame+SGML? WordPerfect SGML? 
Even SGML Author for Word? None of these use CSS as their internal style
sheet file formats, of course, but a translation would be pretty easy.
These are all fairly expensive, of course, and cheaper alternatives like
InContext do not offer WYSIWYG stylesheet generation. But hopefully XML will
allow these companies to increase their audiences and reduce their prices.
