I'm looking for advice as to how to implement an editor using a file
containing an XML document as the input file. Currently my GEF-based
editor's input is a file containing a serialized diagram. My plugin.xml
declares the extension of this serialized file to be used by my editor.
When I save the diagram, after the byte outputstream is written, I next
write an XML document representing the diagram.
What I'd like to do is make the file containing the XML document the
editor's input. If there is a corresponding serialized file, I'd next
read that because it contains some information such as location which is
not retained in the XML document.

Your model and its persistence is an issue that GEF knows nothing about. You
might consider mapping your POJOs to and from a DOM, which can then be
(de)serialized. Or, you could use a modelling framework such as EMF.
BTW, when you serialize java objects, I'm pretty sure there is a mechanism
for XML serialization instead of binary. I don't know what's involved other
than I saw it mentioned at JavaOne years ago.
