That's right. XMLmind XML Editor is useful to write *prose* contained in
large but modular, complex (cross-references, tables, callout lists,
etc), technical documents.

An XML editor, even non-visual, is mainly useful because it understands
the underlying DTD or schema to which your XML document is conforming.
An XML editor leverages this DTD or schema to suggest what attributes
and what elements you can insert at caret position.

If your XML files do not conform to any DTD or schema, a text editor
supporting the syntax coloring of XML will do the job.

Personally I use XMLmind XML Editor to write technical documentation and
I use GNU Emacs + its nxml-mode to write ``technical XML'' (XSLT,
XSL-FO, RSS, etc).
