I think a good outline based XML editor can create a nice editing environment for people like me who want to delegate how the document should look to a program that's good at doing that. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one. Also, any tool will have limits. There will be times when you want to do things with the data that the person who wrote the tool didn't envision, and then having a human readable text format like XML will be a big plus. -jimbo Excelsior!
