Is there such a package?

My xxe plugin, http://rtg.ietf.org/~fenner/ietf/xml2rfc-xxe/, provides
a few of the features:
- embedded comments (with <cref>)
- WYSIKLWYG (What you see is kinda like what you get) display
- Edit time spell check

It's based on the XMLMind XML Editor, which is an excellent
cross-platform java-based XML editor, which is not open-source but has
a free "Standard Edition" and an excellent "Professional Edition".  My
plugin works fine with both, but certain features such as PDF output
are limited to the Professional Edition.

I've been pondering change tracking, in the context of copy-editing,
but I haven't come up with a complete thought yet.
