Which is probably why a very big and innovative customer 
for XMetal is Microsoft.

I strongly agree. Products such as XMetaL are very easy for end-users to use
once they've been setup with schemas, styleshseets, and some UI
customization
for the specific application.  It's probably easier for a typical XML
developer to learn how to customize XMetaL than it is to setup all the
scripts, styles, templates etc. that a Word add-in would require.
