Conglomerate (in theory) should allow you to edit any well-formed XML
document, and I've been focusing on DocBook support.  Unfortunately I
say "in theory" because it's still fairly unstable and I don't get much
time to hack on it these days :-(    (New coders most welcome!)

If there's anything Conglomerate needs to do to help the Fedora docs
project (besides becoming more stable), please file "enhancement" bugs
against it in bugzilla.gnome.org.
