Hello John,

In general, I agree with you on XML vs. HTML.

Maybe I have mentioned it before, but you should have a look at Amaya 
(http://www.w3.org/Amaya/). It's a HTML editor, and it's definitely 
putting structure over display. I'm using it a lot. And of course it's 
free software. (I'm using <oXygen/> XML Editor for XML editing because 
they have a cheap academic licence).
