I would like an editor that supports modular documentation,
that is, one that supports editing of a SYSTEM
entity within its context.  If I have a master document
that pulls in several text fragments as XML system
entities, I would like to be able to open each fragment and
still edit it in validation mode, in a context equivalent
to it being embedded in the master document.  Arbortext
supports this or something like it, I believe.
