Yes, I agree with your analysis, but I work on one project at a time
(I suspect most do) so this is not a problem; furthermore, it means
I can import XML files from oXygen without having to manually
insert two non-XML-conformant files at the top of each.

No.  Select-tab = indent; select-shift-tab - outdent;
tab = insert tab; delete-at-tab = remove tab.
