Re: [eclipse-dev] Suggestion to move the XML editor to Eclipse platform?

What in the XML editor brings in non-XML editor stuff from WTP? Just
because the XML editor is big, why does that make it not eligible to be in
the platform? Would the generic editor have content assist support for
tags? The generic editor would have to have feature parity with the XML
editor or there¹s really no point.
