We expect (at least we hope) when VWR-10924 is implemented that a lot of people will be building XUI HUDs. The "Save to XML" function is quite helpful for building floaters.
I can put a tag <spinner/> in my XML with no attributes so that it gets constructed with all of the default attributes. If I then do a "Save to XML" I get an XML file with a spinner tag and all of the default attributes for spinner. I don't have to look up their names in the documentation and type them in. VWR-10924 contains a new "Preview XUI" function which will then allow me to adjust the attribute values, reload the XML, and see the result. I can imagine extending the "Save to XML" function to have an option to save only the non-default attributes to then give me compact XML.
