I've attached a screenshot of the oXygen XML editor's method to show element
tags. This looks so similar to WP's RC as to be the same, although oXygen
formats it using tabs, which IMHO is even better since you can see the various
parts easier.

However I did a test with the OOo xml based file. I whote the following in a
blank ODT: This is a test for formatting. Bolded from start to just after "for",
underlined from "test" till end. Opening the CONTENTS.XML file inside the ODT
zip archive. The way it's saved makes the RC a bit complicated:

<text:p>
  <text:span text:style-name="T1">This is a</text:span> 
  <text:span text:style-name="T3">test for</text:span> 
  <text:span text:style-name="T2">formatting.</text:span> 
</text:p>

Now each of these "temporary" styles, that should rather be automatically
created styles, have the full set of formatting to each:

<style:style style:name="T1" style:family="text">
  <style:text-properties fo:font-weight="bold" style:font-weight-asian="bold"
style:font-weight-complex="bold" /> 
</style:style>
<style:style style:name="T2" style:family="text">
  <style:text-properties style:text-underline-style="solid"
style:text-underline-width="auto" style:text-underline-color="font-color" /> 
</style:style>
<style:style style:name="T3" style:family="text">
  <style:text-properties style:text-underline-style="solid"
style:text-underline-width="auto" style:text-underline-color="font-color"
fo:font-weight="bold" style:font-weight-asian="bold"
style:font-weight-complex="bold" /> 
</style:style>

To have RC working the content should have been saved as such:
<text:p><text:span text:style-name="T1">This is a <text:span
text:style-name="T2">test for</text:span> formatting.</text:span>

However, this would not work properly, since the 1st closing marker </text:span>
would close the T2 style (underlining). This is not as intended.

So I'm rather then suggesting some visual XML editing to be incorporated into
Writer.
