I found this in the contents of the file:

<document xmlns="urn:hl7-org:v3"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="urn:hl7-org:v3 http://www.fda.gov/oc/datacouncil/schemas/spl/spl.xsd">

They created it in something called Epic
Editor. So do I need this application to view it? Opening the file in Word
of course showed all the tags along with the actual copy of the manuscript.
My next question is: if all this markup is used to describe a Web page
(in effect), how can I view it as it means the browser to display it?

XML *is* just a markup language (technically, a markup metalanguage, as
XML is just a set of rules for making markup languages); you'll need to
find out what DTD/schema they're using, and what application they're
using to create these docs before you'll be able to figure out how to open
and/or edit them.
