e.g. <company product="The editor &lt;producttype-ref

That looks awful.  Escaped markup is nearly always wrong.  Why not
make it:

<company>
 <product>The editor <producttype-ref ref-id="manual1">
 ...

It's  awful, I know, but I am trying to use XML elements only to
represent irreducible elements in my real world domain.

You could use namespaces:

<mf:root
    xmlns:mf="urn:X-meaningful"
    xmlns:ml="urn:X-meaningless">
  <mf:company>
    <ml:name> silly name </ml:name>
  </mf:company>
</mf:root>

But it doesn't look okay to me either, and you're probably right when
you're saying that it's time to rethink your approach.
