I upgraded to FrameMaker 7.0 primarily for its XML functionality, but, to be honest, that was a bit of a disappointment, and I've never used it much.

In open source software, conglomerate looks promising, although it hadn't reached version 1.0 last time I checked. Also, OpenOffice.org 1.1 has an XML Filter Setting tool that allows you to set up XML import and export filters to Simplified DocBook, XHTML, and Microsoft 200 XML, as well as adding your own formats. However, I haven't had time to do more than note the feature, so I can't tell you much about it, except to note that, since OOo's native format is XML, it should be easy to fine-tune output if you're willing to put in the effort.
