After discussing this here, I can put this in as a feature request in
Bugzilla if it still seems feasible and a good idea.
Right now, the outline view for XML (and the visual XML editor as
opposed to the XML source editor), only show the tag name. When I have
a series of the same tag (like a series of appenders in log4j.xml, or a
series of servlets in web.xml), I would like to be able to go directly
to a certain appender or servlet via the outline view.
My idea would be to show the name or id of the element next to the tag
name in the outline view. I know that there may not be standard way to
do this that satisfies all the xml schemes out there, but even some
support would be very useful.
It seems to me that, at a minimum, you should be all to display the
attribute value for a tag if the data-type of that attribute is "ID", right?
Any other ideas on how to determine what you'd actually show? Or
anything similar that you'd want in the outline view?

We may not be fast, but we do respond ... :)
Amy Wu has provided some preliminary support for this in RC1. One
attribute is shown. Its not user configurable, per se, users can turn
the display of the attribute on and off on outline filter button
(default is off). Amy came up with some ideas on how to make the
attribute displayed following something of a "smart" process ... she
may correct me, but I think, in order,
if there's one defined as ID in content model, it is shown, if
there is a required one, it is shown, else if there's one called 'name', it
is shown, else first one is shown ... or something like that.
We wanted to get something into out into our .7 release so 1) we'd be sensitive to
all the user requests we've gotten for it, and 2) we know no one will be
completely happy with it the way it is, so maybe that will motivate many
to contribute some real high powered user customization preferences :)

David was very close in his description. Except there is nothing done to
look for an attribute named "name"
