nXML mode for web development

Question

Is it possible to make nXML mode more convenient for web development?
Specifically:

Treat <? ... ?> bits as if they didn't exist
Don't issue "Unknown element" warnings when the XML schema is unknown

I'd rather not use a multi-mode

Edit:

Regarding point 2, the vacuous schema is supposed to do that, but it gets confused when there is no root element. A quick fix is to wrap everything in a tag with any name

Edit2:

A better fix still, might be to write a script that will:

Check if the schema is vacuous, after entering nxml mode
If it is, add <temporary-root-tag> in the beginning of the document
Before saving, remove the tag
After saving, put the tag back

Setting (rng-validate-mode 0) is probably a good start.

Do you know about nxhtml mode? It is specifically for web development and it builds on nxml.

I've tried using it, but it left me an impression of being unstable. – sabof Mar 02 '12 at 06:41
