There are some good xml editors that recognize quite a bit during parsing, and offer custom tokenization filters, so you can see and edit paths, ints, floats and so on intuitively, and see the tokenized items like some of the paths for passes and buffers broken down into their tokens.
What would it offer more than that? Because unless it's supposed to become very xsi centric in look and added functionality it might be a fair bit of work before it can go toe to toe with the better xml and schema editors out there. It's a good idea, I would definitely at least have a look at one, but before you embark on what might be a very long project if done from scratch you might want to have a peek around and see if there's a 3-clause/BSD out there you can dress up.
