Hello William,
>From what I understand of how XSLTForms works, you can only store "escaped"
XML within any textarea control. Most of the rich text editors then make
the text look like HTML or XML, but within the browser DOM the text is
stored in a single string.
When you do a "save" you can then use the parse() function on the server
side to convert the escaped string into XML and transform it.
I think that Alain has a nice example of the powerful TinyMCE editor here:
http://www.agencexml.com/xsltforms/tinymce.xml
You might be able to configure TinyMCE to work like much an XML editor.
See http://www.tinymce.com/
Claudius Teodorescu has quite a bit of experience doing in-browser XML
editing using DocBook and TEI using the TEI-Ann product.
