Hi Andrei,

I'm getting close to have something that can be committed here.
Since it was a slightly bigger piece of work, I added a bugzilla entry 
for it: 223794

I've attached a screenshot of what I have at the moment. Embedded 
ws-policy elements are greyed out and read-only in the tree but the 
enclosed nodes can be viewed. Is this the kind of thing you were looking 
for? See attachment.

Cheers,

David
