Well, I would say you're both right. Moving to
XML where authors don't control the formatting
*does* help writers focus on content and it's
amazingly liberating.
But being a writer, I do understand wanting something
sort of WYSIWYG -- some level of feedback helps
the writing process. So, as others have suggested,
give it to them in something like XMetal, Frame 7,
or Epic. All three products do a good job of
supporting the fundamental realities of both XML
*and* writing. Most of the other XML Editors I've
seen don't do this well,
