But what Tuo Pe wants to do is change the leader for only the XML
mappings. He doesn't want it constant throughout the session, at
least as I understood his original question.

It seems to me that, according to Vim's documentation, setting
maplocalleader any time before the mappings of xml.vim were defined
should have worked.

As an experiment, I created a file with the contents shown here:

map <LocalLeader>X :echo "hello X"<CR>
let maplocalleader = ","
map <LocalLeader>Y :echo "hello Y"<CR>
let maplocalleader = ""
map <LocalLeader>Z :echo "hello Z"<CR>

and sourced it. Both the ":map" command and trying the mappings
verified that the left-hand sides of the mappings were as expected:

\X
,Y
\Z

It worked for me; I wonder why it didn't work for Tuo Pe.

Gary
