It's not so much auto-indenting that I'm worried about, it's just that
I simply cannot indent at all with the tab key, beyond the level of
indentation of the tag I'm in.

For instance, if I have this text:

<schema>
    <pattern name="foo">
    </pattern>
</schema>

and I insert a new line within the pattern tags, I can't tab beyond
that single level of indentation.

Also... how would I install the el file you offered?
