Looking at nxml-mode.el, I see that the correct keystroke is M-TAB.
Since this combination is used to switch from one main application
window to the next by the MS Windows and Ubuntu Linux GUIs (and
no doubt other GUIs because they tend to copy one another),it is
likely to be a problem for many users.

I recommend that the documentation suggest ways to work around
this.
