Can we edit XML documents in Tridion using SiteEdit 2009?

We started learning SiteEdit. We can enable and use it for html pages, but someone can help us if we can use it if the content is published as an XML document. We tried to do this, but the SiteEdit button does not appear on the published XML page when accessed through the SiteEdit proxy (on port 84).

SiteEdit allows you to edit your content in the HTML of your website. Therefore, if you render the content of the (valid) HTML and add the correct SiteEdit commands to this HTML, you can edit it.

SiteEdit will not allow editing the source XML file that you publish. I usually expected to find the same content as HTML, somewhere else on the website, and include SiteEdit there.

If you really think it makes sense to edit content in an XML-like presentation, I suggest finding XSLT that converts XML to HTML representation (as Internet Explorer shows) and add this as a dynamic component template in Tridion. If you then enter the necessary SiteEdit commands in this HTML, you can edit the result in SiteEdit. This, of course, will become HTML, but it will still look like you are editing the original XML.
