For standard XML files there's not much I can think of.  Requests 
for options to prevent the user from editing a file don't come up 
that often.  They can, after all, just use another editor.  But for 
files of your own content type you could register a different 
outline configuration class using the 
org.eclipse.wst.sse.ui.editorConfiguration extension point.  You'll 
probably want to do something similar for the property sheet 
configuration.
