You're quite mistaken. XML is an agnostic container
format. All it is meant to do is represent things like
documents. It doesn't require (or even suggest) that
you separate style from content.

You're asking for quite a lot. No word processor on
the planet does this. Try out Conglomerate or MLView
for a general-purpose XML editor.

AbiWord is a word processor that uses XML as its
native format. It is not a general-purpose XML editor.
