You might also want to check up up on the status of OpenOffice and DocBook (http://xml.openoffice.org/xmerge/docbook/index.html). They apparently are looking at using OO as a WYSIWYG editor.
Having cut my teeth on Emacs/LaTeX I still prefer the Emacs/PSGML (or similar) combination, but there are alternatives. You are obviously already aware of all this so I had better stop and let you get back to business ;-)
Back to lurking again :-)

XXE is ok for validating XML or working on small config files (like
Jetspeed config files ;) but it's not a word processor and doesn't
pretend to be one.
XXE's great advantage is being able to apply a stylesheet to an XML
doc on the fly, so it has some sense of WYSIWYG, but it's slow and
awkward and not well suited to writing technical prose.
Also, in looking at XML editors for documents, keep in mind that
while <em>emphasis</em> would be expected in-line, most XML editors
will break it out and indent it because it is an element.
We had this discussion on the now defunct Linux-Hack writers' mailing list, and the best alternative anyone could find was LyX,
and even that was only a partial solution.
According to XMLHack today, the OpenOffice.org presentation at XML2002
suggests OOo will not become a DocBook editor but is only interested
in becoming a new standard XML for office documents, whereas MSWord
wants to be a flexible any-kind-of-XML editor.
