I don't think one can always generate a DTD. There are lots of XML
files that use various namespaces (though these files are generally
generated, one may sometimes want to edit them, to fix things or
whatever). Anyway if psgml can't generate DTD's automatically and
transparently, that's quite useless.

But XSLT files are XML documents. An editor that can't edit them
can't be called an XML editor.

I disagree. Relax NG schemas are much more powerful than DTD's.
So, as long as one has a Relax NG schema, nXML mode is better
than psgml.
