Don't be too sure of that.
Linux XML is still largely at the pioneer stage: that is, full of
hardy command line gurus carving out docuements from the computer
wilderness with emacs and psgml.
There was a promising little tool called conglomerate being done,
but development seems to have stopped. There's also a proprietary
tool called iceSculpture, but it lacks styles or even bullet lists,
so it isn't really ready for prime time. A couple of HTML editors
seem to be plannng to add XML support, but, so far, not much has
happened.
