Do any of these cases require use of the XML tree? I'm wondering if it
wouldn't be clearer to hide it by default, since you're mostly
focusing on facilitating minor edits.

Yes, but there will always be a class of power users that isn't afraid
of hand-editing XML. Reducing the amount of time these users need to
invest to get familiar with CSL seems worthwhile. I see it more as a
parallel approach to the CSL editor, which is more aimed at casual
users.
