There is some tutorial about 'Modeling XML Vocabularies with UML' , 
which might be interesting for you:

I don't rate UML as to sophisticated to hire external specialist to use 
it, rather it is a valued instrument to abstract complexity.
Concerning the argument of timewasting synchronization of source and 
model, I rely on the possibility of bi-directional conversion, improved 
since UML 2.0.
