XXE is a nice DocBook editor. I switched from 2.6 to 2.11 and I found
many improvements, but there are still some features that I miss:

* a lower priced student edition. Students like me cannot efford current
  XXE prices.

* the default save dir should be $HOME and not $INSTALLDIR

* XXE should get the DPI value from X11/xdpyinfo

* the search box in the Edit tab should search for tags that contains
  the searched term, not just for tags that start with the search term.
  A search for "table" should report "table" as the first result and
  "informaltable" as the second result.

* indentation with the tab character

* auto open the tree view

* a description of each tag (this has already been requested)

* desc + search = a very pleasant way to discover DocBook or avoid to
  pick up the ref book if you forgot the difference between simplelist
  and itemlist. You would search for 'list', clicks on the first item,
  the description is shown, presses down and the next match's
  description is shown, down again and you have the third description.
