I would rather suggest to use this macro to solve your problem:
---
<!-- ===============================================================
Use external editor to edit XML source of current document
and automatically reload it when done.
On Windows, replace emacs by the path to your favorite text editor.
(Mine is C:\emacs\bin\emacs!)
Make sure that this editor supports Unix-style newlines
and the encoding you have chosen for your XML documents.
================================================================= -->
<command name="editXMLSource">
<macro>
<sequence>
<command name="XXE.save" parameter="[ifNeeded]" />
<command name="run" parameter='emacs "%D"' />
<command name="XXE.open" parameter="[reopenIfNewer]" />
</sequence>
</macro>
</command>
<binding>
<keyPressed code="ESCAPE" />
<charTyped char="e" />
<command name="editXMLSource" />
</binding>
