A variant of this request feature is to display localized element and attribute names. This kind of feature request is debatable: one of the design choices of XXE is not to hide XML reality (logical reality=XML infoset, not physical reality=files,encodings,entities) to its users. However, I'll add this request feature to our user's wish list. Element and attribute ``choosers'' are radically changing because: * We have found that support of wildcards was too tedious to use. * We want to have attribute *value* autocompletion. * We want to have both auto-append and auto-suggest autocompletions (this will be user-configurable using the "Options" dialog box -- for those like me, who hate auto-append). This enhancement is expected to be implemented in XXE V2.10.
