No. But I have this macro in my ~/.xxe/addon/customize.xxe:

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.

I *never* use it.

Even if you don't like the table specific commands found in the XHTML or
in the DocBook menus, I don't see how editing tables with an XML *text*
editor could be easier than:
* inserting row-groups, rows and cells using XMLmind XML Editor,
* creating and modifying <colgroup>, <col>, <colspec>, <spanspec> using
XMLmind XML Editor.
Without the help of table specific commands, editing tables in XMLmind
XML Editor works exactly the same as editing any other type of element.
I mean: it works fine.
