The easiest option I know is just to use the Eclipse XML editor and never use the
autoformat feature.
Of course, people do use the autoformat feature, so sometimes we have to reset it back to
what it should look like.

Stuart (et al),
To follow up on your question from IRC, we don't have to use vim for formatting the
reference docs source (docbook). What I want to avoid is reflows of the XML because that
makes it virtually impossible to track changes. So far, vim gives me the maximum control
over that. Eclipse loves to reformat the whole document in ways i don't agree with.
I've tried other docbook editors, and they seem to have their own way of formatting
too. If we can find a way to avoid reflows and use something better than vim, I'm all
ears. Vim isn't the greatest at editing XML anyway.
...however, the modelines I suggested [1] to set a target for the formatting that we
want.
