I've found that I can mostly avoid the mouse using XMLmind's XML
editor and my xml2rfc plugin
(http://rtg.ietf.org/~fenner/ietf/xml2rfc-xxe/).  xxe has been
designed to have keyboard shortcuts for most common operations and
I've tried to continue that (e.g., "enter" to insert a new paragraph
or split the current one at the cursor).

I have to admit that I use nroff about 75% of the time and XML about
25%, I'm much happier about the postscript/PDF output options from
nroff than from XML, and I can't imagine having written the 120-page
PIM spec in XML.
