Hey everyone.
Looking at the commit-history, there's not much happening with nxml-mode right now. It's stable, mature code.
One thing which surprised me when starting to use Emacs though, was how XML is a structured document-format... But using C-M-SPACE didn't select a node in the way it does in other major-mode (like lisp-modes).
For -years- this annoyed me... Until someone pointed out that simply setting nxml-sexp-element-flag to true makes Emacs behave exactly the behaviour you would expect and want it to.
This is -much- better, and actually makes nxml-mode a decent "programming language" for batch XML-jobs through keyboard macros.
Why, oh why, is this not the default? If nxml-mode is "complete" at this point, I still think this is one thing left to improve.
This would especially make things betterfor new users.
How about it?
