Depends on what you mean by "mediated".  While I do occasionally work
with XML on paper or blackboards, I generally work with it in text
editors.  I occasionally (10% ?) edit XML indirectly through an
application, which is a heavier form of mediation.  I don't think I ever
work with XML expecting _never_ to have to look at the markup.

In any case, I design my own tools around the expectation that mediation
may be available but will not be necessary for interpretation.
