Grmbl, you are right... why not?

Of interest to the OP, this lead me into actually reading the
documentation for `nxml-bind-meta-tab-to-complete-flag', where it says:

*Non-nil means bind M-TAB in `nxml-mode-map' to `nxml-complete'.
C-return will be bound to `nxml-complete' in any case.
M-TAB gets swallowed by many window systems/managers, and
`documentation' will show M-TAB rather than C-return as the
binding `rng-complete' when both are bound.  So it's better
to bind M-TAB only when it will work.

So C-Return should work any time, out of the box. Didn't know that.
