Please forgive this dumb question. But what is this for -just viewing units?

At its most basic yes. My original version simply provided a view on the text dump of a scenario. The XML dumps of events, map data and OOBs provide more flexibility in what and how the data can be viewed. Especially as you've noted in monster scenarios and particularly ones you're not familiar with.
It doesn't allow one to edit? i have yet to get an editor to work without crashing.

It could form the basis of an editor. However, I lack confidence in the reliability of re-importing the XML dumps back in to a scenario (I have a post in the support forum to that effect). Not worth the effort developing an OOB editor (for example) if you can't do anything with the edits...

3.4 should fix that. It also allows importing/exporting an entire scenario into XML.
