A feature I like from the BEA XML Editor is that it displays comments in
the XML tree structure view.

For example, I am now looking at a file that has 5 top level nodes.
Opening any single of these nodes in the tree view, however, reveals
literally hundreds of child nodes.  This is very hard to navigate in the
tree view because there are reference points within these very long
lists.

Of course, in the XML source file, we have single-line comments
sprinkled throughout these long lists of nodes that group them into more
manageable chunks and let you know where you are in the file.

The BEA XML Editor shows these comments in the tree view.  That's nice
because I can quickly scroll down through the list view until I find the
comment I am looking for, say, <!-- Desktop Listeners -->, amidst all of
the other nodes.

I would like to request that IDEA (perhaps optionally) show comments in
the XML structure view to allow easier navigation within long lists of
nodes.
