Sure. Suffice to develop an XSLT stylesheet which converts your XML document 
(e.g. DocBook, DITA, XHTML) to wiki markup (e.g. MediaWiki; see
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting) and then integrate this XSLT 
stylesheet to XXE.

This is technically possible because:

a) Despite the fact that it does not use tags, a wiki markup  is a structured 
document markup, almost always very close to HTML.

b) An XSLT stylesheet can generate plain text.

PS: About *native* wiki markup support in XMLmind XML Editor
------------------------------------------------------------

Several years ago, XXE v3 supported a kind of plug-in called "Non-XML format 
plug-in".

Using the proper "Non-XML format plug-in", you could --transparently for the 
user-- open a file containing wiki markup, edit it as if it was first-class XML 
(styled view, strict validation, etc), and then use "File|Save" to save it back 
as wiki markup.

Morover, XXE had, and always has, everything needed (e.g. HTTP POST
multipart/form-data) to `publish'' such wiki markup file directly to the wiki.

XXE v3 had 2 "Non-XML format plug-ins":

- One used to edit Javadoc directly inside ".java" file. Javadoc
example: 
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/documentation/index-137868.html#format

- And another one which added support for something very, very, close to wiki 
markup: APT (Almost Plain Text). Info about APT: 
http://maven.apache.org/doxia/references/apt-format.html
