That's not a dumb question at all. Clearly the whole point of using Emacs in some sort of vi-emulation mode is that you want to be able to use the Emacs' cool text editing modes while still retaining vi emulation. You can definitely run viper and nxml modes at the same time (just tried it). In fact, viper appears to effectively hijack your emacs session. Once I run viper-mode I get viper mode pretty much everywhere. So just open up an xml file (emacs myfile.xml) and then type in M-x viper-mode, it will probably do what you want. You might need to type in M-x nxml-mode to make sure you get the nxml-mode instead of the older xml-mode, but there are quite a few ways to control what mode gets used (which is probably what the original author was talking about). Spend a little time in "info viper" for more information.
