If you've really got your heart set on XML, the native format for 
OpenOffice uses XML (it's a directory structure inside a .zip file that
uses XML for most content).  You can't easily switch between editing the 
XML and editing in OO, though -- you'd have to save the file, unzip it, 
edit the XML, re-compress, and then reopen in OO.  That is, unless 
someone's written an OpenOffice add-on that will do this for you.

If you're not wedded to XML as a format, I suggest taking a look at 
LaTeX, either hand-edited in your favourite text editor, or via LyX (A 
GUI editor that uses a subset of LaTeX as its file format).

Cheers,
Dave
