Alas, no.

your-document-root {

main,

but where is the element with "display:table-row;"?

There is no simple, plain, button, having the native look of buttons on
your platform. Why? Because we have found them to be too big and less
flexible than command-buttons. But apparently you do not agree with this.

You are right. We need to write more tutorials with useful examples
(writing process commands, styling an XML document as a form, etc).

Yes. You probably need to use insert-after-button(). insert-button()
inserts an element at caret position and this is probably not what you
want to do.
If you really want to ``add'' elements (AKA smart insert), you need to
specify a command button with a hand-written menu of add commands (see
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/docs/commands/ch06s02.html)

Sorry but the answer is no to all the questions. You describe an
advanced ``editable Web browser''. We have more modest goals for our
editor, which we consider to be *half a tool*. The other half being an
intelligent XML backend we really would like to develop.
