OK, I get that.  What my post was asking wasn't anything about any
bugs anywhere... only how to open nXML files without emacs trying to
format them... but still have syntax highlighting.

I'm aware I can go to fundamental-mode to stop any formatting, but of
course, that also kills any syntax highlighting.

So, is there some kind of mode that kills all attempts at formatting, yet
provides syntax highlighting.  Or maybe just how to turn on syntax
highlight for nXML but stay in fundamental-mode?
