The trouble with DRM
"Despite marketing, DRMP is a licensing technology, not a security technology"
"The DRMP system is based on the premise that unlicensed use of software or data should make computers stop working. You could also argue that bridges should be designed to fall down if someone is detected crossing without paying the toll."

Xopus hacking
Xopus is unique editor--it takes advantage of the existing DOM, CSS, JavaScript, and XML support in modern browsers. (Try the demo; Yep, that's a splash screen. Yep, you can click on most anything and type. Yep, that's a save button that shows the edited XML.)
The code, which is open sourced and available, has some interesting features, like support for XInclude and XML Schema (Yep, in JavaScript).
This is the ultimate in cross platform. One limitation of a browser application, however, is non-access to the file system. But that's easily taken care of with a bit of CGI code, like this:
(warning: first Python project ahead)
#!/usr/local/bin/python
print "Content-type: text/html"
print "<html><head><title>File Access</title></head><body><pre>"
import sys
sys.stderr = sys.stdout
output = open("/var/www/cgi-bin/data/result.xml", "w")
output.write(sys.stdin.read());
output.close()
print "Done</pre></body></html>"
If anyone else is working along these lines, stop by the Yahoo! groups discussion list and share your thoughts. -m
