As a matter of information, "something called XMetaL" is 
actually the leading competitor to Arbortext Epic in the 
dedicated XML editor market. XMetaL used to be the 
product of a company called Blast Radius, but after a 
name change and a corporate acquisiton the current 
pubisher is a company called JustSystems, Inc.  Back in
the Blast Radius era, they actually took the interesting
approach of recommending the use of structured 
FrameMaker as a high-quality publishing tool for the
back side of an XML system that uses XMetaL as the 
primary editor.
