Here's a rough start, I'd love to see what you've got and any comments
that you have to add--I invite you to contact me off list if you want to
get into more details.

Thanks for the info on Sarma, the interface looks similar to some of the
nicer XML editors like XXE, but it seems to have some performance issues.
Another project worth looking at is Borges which is used by Mandriva
to maintain their documentation. On the plus side, they have put a lot
of effort into supporting the translation process to multiple languages,
and it is a fairly mature product. On the minus side, the interface
looks kind of old fashioned, although it gets the job done. If somebody
held a gun to my head and said I have to set up something today, I would
probably concentrate on Borges as most of the functionality is already
there. Since that is not the case, it would be nice to have something
that is more aesthetically pleasing and more intuitive to use,
especially for people who are not as well-versed in XML.
