I'm responding to my own post here, in case anyone has the same question. I was incorrect. If you rearrange the items in a Tree that uses XML as its dataProvider, this actually does rearrange the nodes in the XML. My error was to look at the XML in the Tree's 'change' event handler, at which point it hadn't changed. When I checked the XML a bit later, once the Tree had finished processing the change, the XML reflected the new arrangement of nodes in the Tree.
Bottom line: The Tree component works as a (somewhat limited) XML editor as-is.
