Hi Eliot, You should not need to specify the default mode for the XML editors as the Author mode in version 11. oXygen 11 added support to specify the default mode/page also in the framework/document type. For all the frameworks that we support DITA, DocBook, TEI, etc. we already set that to Author. Thus you can keep the default mode for the XML editors to Text and unknown files will be opened in Text mode while the DITA, etc. files will be opened in Author mode. Please let me know if you still think that an additional option is needed.

I edit a lot of random XML files for which there will never be a CSS but I also do heads-down writing in Author mode. For the latter I have "open in Author" set as the default. However, when I open any non-authored XML file, it gets the "There is no associated CSS" treatment, which I then have to switch to the text mode.
I think it might make sense to have a general option "Open in text mode if no CSS" so that Oxygen just does the right thing for this sort of environment. You wouldn't want this to be the only behavior, or even necessarily the default behavior, but I'd like it to be the behavior I get.
Cheers,
E.
