Summary: Change WiX Schema to take advantage of folding

Initial Comment:
VS.NET can "fold" code - if you write C# using it, you
can toggle outlining of a member / class / namespace
with ctrl+m ctrl+m.  Same for #region / #endregion tags.

VS.NET 2005 supports folding in XML files.

Can the WiX schema be changed to take advantage of
this?  For example, there could be a UITexts collection
for UIText nodes; a Properties collection for Property
nodes; a ProgressTexts collection for ProgressText
nodes - there are several other examples.

In my opinion, this would also encourage people in
general to write code in a more structured way, aiding
readability.  We would hopefully end up with setup
source code where the new reader knows to look in the
xyz place for a UIText node, and so on.  As well as
obviously being able to fold the code out of sight, to
maximise screen real-estate, arranging only the bits of
the file that the developer is interested in to be
on-screen.

Interesting idea, but I'd rather see the tools built on top
of the schema become smarter about folding than the language
itself.  Perhaps there could be some special comments that
support folding - ideally this would be a Visual Studio (or
whatever editor you use) feature.
