You mean it should turn

    <tag arg=foo arg2=bar>
      <tag2 />
    </tag>
 
into something like

    <tag...>
      <tag2 />
    </tag>

or into something like:

    <tag arg=foo arg2=bar>
      ...
    </tag>

or both/either ?
The answer doesn't really matter since I don't know of any package that
provides this functionality directly, but I'm just tryin gto understand
better what you want.
It shouldn't be too difficult to add hs-minor-mode support to sgml-mode
(the major mode used to edit XML files).
