Seconded.

I *have* used it for a production run and whilst it is not perfect it 
makes document creation and editing significantly easier than typing 
'raw' xml even into a syntax-aware text editor.

It is also very helpful for proof reading and commenting (spell checker 
provided).

And the standard version is free.. and supported on Windows, Linux and Mac.

I used to use the Word template but the freedom from hassle of 
generating the final documents, the ease of generating references makes 
xxe/xml2rfc
and support of complex numbered lists (almost impossible to achieve in 
Word) means I am never going back.
