May be I am missing the bigger picture over here, but a simple solution 
to this would be to include text editors like gedit,gvim and emacs in 
the list of apps that can open html/xml files. Its not a terribly 
persnolized solution, cause I know more than one professional web 
content designer who prefers to use editors like gvim for editing html 
files. I mean c'mon, one of the most advertised features of formats like 
html and perticularly xml was that its human readable and that you can 
use any text editor to modify the files :)

Hope this helps
