I think the best option is to create a new structured-text-mode which
inherits from both text-mode and prog-mode (and then have nxml-mode
inherit from that mode).

Those users who want to enable some functionality in text-mode but not
in structured-text-mode can always use (derived-mode-p
'structured-text-mode) in the hook function.
