Seconded.
I *have* used it for a production run and whilst it is not perfect it
makes document creation and editing significantly easier than typing
'raw' xml even into a syntax-aware text editor.
It is also very helpful for proof reading and commenting (spell checker
provided).
And the standard version is free.. and supported on Windows, Linux and Mac.
I used to use the Word template but the freedom from hassle of generating the
final documents, the ease of generating references and support of complex
numbered lists (almost impossible to achieve in Word) makes
xxe/xml2rfc my current tool chain of choice and means I am never going back to
Word.

This is my impression, from trying to use it as well. I was troubled by
'yet another embedded text system' that necessitated editing source,
which seemed like a stone-age throwback when I abandoned such systems in
the mid 1980s (Scribe, nroff, etc. at the time).
While I appreciate that, in theory:
1. there are WYSIWYG XML editors that *can* be loaded with DTDs
2. Word et al. are moving to XML
Bill Fenner has made a plugin available for the XMLMind XML Editor
that gives you a lot of assistance in writing XML2RFC documents.
I haven't used it for "production" yet, but it looks wonderful - not
WYSIWYG, but WYSIPU - What You See Is Pretty Useful.
