Why not?  Although XML is now used for more than just text, SGML was
originally mostly used for text (and mostly for HTML, actually).

If there's incorrect indentation, yes, feel free to fix it (but only in
the last patch, not the ones submitted for review so the actual changes
don't get drowned in irrelevant reindentation).

You can try M-x unload-feature, but I typically just use C-M-x to
evaluate the function I just changed.
