I am bumping this in case it went unnoticed.
I am trying to follow the XML style guidelines of the FreeBSD
Documentation Project,
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/fdp-primer/writing-style-guide.html#writing-style-indentation
and I would indeed like to use nXML mode.
It looks like `nxml-compute-indent-from-previous-line' in nxml-mode.el
is relevant, but I can't see how to modify or advise it.
Thanks,
Raghu.
