First, here is the "Editors" group as listed in the comps.xml file, with the 
'xml:lang' localization tags removed for clarity:

  <group>
    <id>editors</id>
    <name>Editors</name>
    <description>Sometimes called text editors, these are programs that allow
                        you to create and edit files. These include Emacs and
                        Vi.
    </description>
    <default>false</default>
    <uservisible>true</uservisible>
    <grouplist>
      <groupreq>base</groupreq>
      <metapkg type="optional">xemacs</metapkg>
    </grouplist>
    <packagelist>
        <packagereq type="optional">jed</packagereq>
        <packagereq type="optional">leafpad</packagereq>
        <packagereq type="optional">TeXmacs</packagereq>
    </packagelist>
  </group>

Now, yum --disablerepo=extras-development groupinfo "Editors":
yum --disablerepo=extras-development groupinfo "Editors"
Setting up Group Process
Setting up repositories

Group: Editors
 Required Groups:
   Base
 Optional Metapkgs:
   XEmacs
   Emacs
 Default Packages:
   vim-enhanced
 Optional Packages
   leafpad
   TeXmacs
   jed
   joe
   vim-X11

This output is slightly different than what Jeff provided in 
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-extras-list/2005-July/msg00479.html

From the "group list" spec in the xml, one can clearly see why base is 
included as a "required group," xemacs is included as a "optional metapkg."

From the "package list" spec in the xml, it is also clear why we see jed, 
leafpad and TeXmacs included in "optional packages."

I don't understand how vim-enhanced is listed as a "default package," nor do I 
understand how joe and vim-X11 show up as "optional packages."

Maybe someone from redhat could send me the comps.dtd with some tag 
documentation, because I also don't know the complete meaning of the 
<default> and <uservisible> tags.

Organizational progress is being made though, and that will be another 
posting.
