I don't know what XMP is:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensible_Metadata_Platform

Oh well.

Wow! I am keep being amazed at how workplaces suck with their policies.

Well, I like this XML plugin:
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1397 . It has many
useful functions to add tags, change tags, etc.

Vim also has useful syntax highlighting modes for XML, XSLT, etc.
which you should look into.

You may also wish to install one of the snippets plugins such as
snipMate or UltiSnips.

Stray XSLT code causes more deaths than road accidents.
