Question: does oXygen XML currently provide any features for hiding of namespace declaration attributes (I haven't upgraded to V7 yet so I can't check there)? If it doesn't, is it on the feature request list? What I'm thinking of is an option that would hide or iconize in some way namespace declaration attributes on start tags within the text editor. There would have to be an easy way to examine a tag to see what namespaces either it declares or are mapped in its scope. This would make it much easier to author documents where you have a mix of elements from different namespaces and you want to declare these namespaces as defaults. This is especially problematic in, for example, technical documentation where you might have a number of different vocabularies used for inline markup within paragraphs, where having lots of namespace declaration attributes would definitely be disruptive and annoying.
