Support for general XML is something that is very feasible. There is already an experimental branch (xml) on github for this. This branch has XML Schema support. XML Schemas can be read and the UI adapts to the schema. With CSS the document can be made to look nice for the user.

If you want to work towards this, please drop by on the mailing list or irc channel. It's high time for a good FOSS XML editor.

I agree, there's been too much a wait already for a good XML document editor, not a mere markup tool. It does not look like bigger players like Google and Facebook have interest in building components for this. Hopefully with LT, Brackets, Mondrian and now WebODF the necessary pieces are finally coming together.

Good to know you have already started the more generic XML work. I'll take a look and see if I can find something to dig in.
