I have been trying to make it clear for some time that nXML is *not* an
editor suitable for writing XML documents.

What you want is psgml, which has the full set of document-editing
features (completion, insertion, encapsulation, deletion, change,
splitting, attribute editing, etc). Install it from your Emacs repos (I
think it's in marmelade).¹ There is a separate xxml-mode.el which
provides even more editing features.²

But psgml only works with DTDs (XML DTDs as well as SGML DTDs) as it has
no knowledge of RNG or W3C schemas. This is usually not a problem for
the document-world (books, journals, articles), where RNG/W3C are rarely
used yet.

When I win the Lottery I will fund an elisp expert to modify psgml
a) to support RNG/W3C;
b) to add a few features like element-join; and
c) merge the features of xxml-mode and fix a few trivial buglets.

Unless some valiant elisp hacker cares to step up to the plate...
