Merlot doesn't go quite this far, but it does support plugins in the
form of code bundled with a DTD, so that the editor can become very
customized for each DTD.

SoftQuad XMetal and Arbortext Epic can do this, but require a lot of
DTD-specific customization.  It's kindof hard to imagine a "wizard"
that could understand a DTD or schema well enough to do this
automatically ... but would be a wonderful innovation!
