Because IE does not run on Linux, maybe? ;). And many other platforms
too. Also, I was under the impression that Xopus works in IE 5.5+ for
Windows only, so this rules out the Mac too.

I agree with you on this. If Xopus currently runs on IE using MSXML,
maybe we can make it run on Mozilla using Xerces and Xalan. This would
still rule out Opera or Konqueror etc., but would cover almost ALL the
desktop platforms, and 99% of users would be able to edit XML content
without leaving their browser of choice.

As soon as I can put my hands on a Windows box, I plan to give Xopus a
try. Unfortunately (;-)) at the moment I work 100% of my time on Linux.

P.S. there is a project for integrating Xerces/Xalan in Mozilla, you can
find it at http://xanthes.mozdev.org/. It looks inactive, though.
