We agree that your RFE makes sense and that it makes XXE slightly more generic and slightly more consistent. However, implementing it will not make us sell more copies of XXE Professional Edition. Therefore we do not plan to implement it in the near future. All we can do for now is to add your RFE to our ever growing Users Wish List (http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/wish_list.html).
