Hey,

I'd like to note something about this, currently XML and HTML are 
handled by the same style, which isn't correct since in HTML you have a 
limited number of elements, and in XML you're able to create your own 
unique elements. Right now, when working with say XSLT documents, all 
the XSLT elements are marked with the unknown style (red), when really, 
there shouldn't be any unknown style for XML documents.

I'd like to see that split up, so you have a HTML style which includes 
the PHP, ASP and JavaScript support, but also a more general XML style.

Also, I've noticed that XSLT files (.xsl application/xslt+xml) are not 
considered XML, so it'd be great if they where :)

Thanks, Rowan.
