My lack of faith in XML based solutions (or at least proprietary ones) comes primarily from my expectation that sooner or later (knowing me, rather sooner) I'll come across something they haven't thought of... and I'll either have to choose another tool, or try to hack it using the features/tools they already have available, which will probably (given unintended usage) look like crap.

Not to beat a dead horse... but Hungarian Runes written in boustrophedon *is* of genuine and ongoing relevance to me. So is Hanzi with good quality typography. So is weird stuff like being able to put arbitrary accents or subaccents on just about any character, whether latin, cyrillic, or even Hanzi.

These things are just off the top of my head... and I suspect all three of them make PrinceXML a non-starter for me.

Not to mention far simpler that I suspect they have no proper support for:

Hungarian hyphenation. Including properly hyphenating doubled digraph consonants, and having some way to differentiate genuine doubled digraphs from a non-doubled digraph merely sitting beside the "wrong" single letter.

e.g.:

boccsal -> bocs-csal
bérccsoport -> bérc-cso-port
sasszárny -> sas-szárny
hosszú -> hosz-szú
et cetera
Or am I underestimating the tool?
