vim-xml-ftplugin vs. formatoptions

I've noticed that formatoptions+=c and a suitable textwidth value has no
effect with xml/xslt filetypes, and found this in
$VIMRUNTIME/autoload/xmlformat.vim:

func! xmlformat#Format()
" only allow reformatting through the gq command
" (e.g. Vim is in normal mode)
if mode() != 'n'
" do not fall back to internal formatting
return 0
endif
[...]

This is as shipped with 8.1.998, although the upstream version appears to
be identical at the moment. Kind of surprised at that -- is there some
underlying reason to disable auto formatting for XML filetypes?

Removing that mode() test definitely causes problems, figured I'd ask here
before digging any further...
