Here are some things which may be considered: 1. Make indentation in nXML mode compatible with that in the official SGML mode, and in the unofficial PSGML mode; the latter indentation styles are arguably more natural, and followed by projects like the FreeBSD Documentation Project. I had stumbled across this problem recently, as in https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2018-05/msg00009.html 2. Addition of features in PSGML mode, e.g, a) Information about the schema: analogues of `sgml-describe-element-type', `sgml-list-elements', etc. b) Support for processing instructions such as, e.g., which specify that a `foo' element should not be disturbed when filling a region; this is useful if one wants to fill a buffer containing verbatim elements such as program listings. c) Provision of more editing commands analogous to `sgml-tag-region', `sgml-auto-insert-required-elements', etc. 3. Support for XInclude. 4. Provision of a facility similar to RefTeX for manipulating cross-references in a modular document. 5. Analogues of `LaTeX-fill-region' and friends from AUCTeX. 6. More documentation. I would like advice on how to proceed. Thanks, Raghu. -- N. Raghavendra , http://www.retrotexts.net/ Harish-Chandra Research Institute, http://www.hri.res.in/
