I'm sorry but I don't agree. This is not annoying. This is exactly the desired behavior. The <para> in your example just contains a <parameter> and no text at all. Therefore no need to display text placeholders. If you want to add text, then you need to explicitly insert text nodes before and/or after <parameter> or <remark>. In order to do so, simply use the hotkey INSERT (=insert text node after) or Shift-INSERT (=insert text node before). (Not knowing this hotkey makes XXE really tedious to use.)
