The contents of the clipboard is displayed ``in real-time'' at the bottom right of the main window. > Another approach that I've thought of while trying to restructure > documents with XXE is that it would be really nice to have another > option for insertion: right now you pick your location first, then get > a list of elements that can be inserted there.

We already have something very close to want you want: the "add" command. See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/commands/add.html This command is generally used by the buttons found in the DocBook, XHTML, DITA, etc, tool bars. Example: The "Add itemizedlist" button of the DocBook tool bar adds an itemizedlist at the nearest, *legal*, position following the caret. In practice, this simple behavior is sufficient. Try it, you'll like it.
