I am not clear why this is a problem. Mozilla understands the XML without conversion. You can work on the XML, verify that it is is correct, and commit it, all without generating HTML. I think that's a better system for folks, like myself, that are either unable, or too lazy, to do the conversion. Just get the latest Mozilla, and use that as your converter.
I agree, in general, that you don't need much XML knowledge to do the authoring, and that is great. (Although Mozilla is giving me fits, personally. I can't get it to do anything other than crash hard or render the xml as plain text since we added the multi-lingual stuff to manual.xsl. What version are you using? Do you have any special tricks? MSIE 6.0, on the other hand, seems to work like a charm.)
But the transformations do eventually (sooner rather than later) need to get committed to the docs as html. And it is just way to complicated to make that happen at the moment.
Perhaps I overstated the severity of the situation in a fit of frustration. But I still think we need to standardize and get a good set of instructions.
