nxml mode for emacs makes the XML/DocBook authoring process HTML-like
simple.
Plus, as has been mentioned already, there are much more XML parsing
tools on the market, including computer aided translation tools (CAT).
When translation is involved and one does not want the translators to
work in the source, for fear of breaking it, it is important to have
such tools, that also contribute to ensuring that the translation is
homogenous terminology-wise.
