Every namespace used in an XML document should be able to have it's own syntax colors for elements and attributes. Syntax colors can now be customized by: Tools->Options->Editing->Editor Settings->XML Editor- >Fonts and Colors. This dialog should be changed to support Namespace-driven syntax highlighting. The user should be able to hardcode colors for particular namespaces through the options dialog. Namespaces which do not have hardcoded colors are displayed in automatically chosen colors. The automatically chosen colors are choosen from a predefined color table trying not to use the same colors for different namespaces.
Unscheduling from my todo list. New owner is gladly welcome. Meanwhile assigning to abstract issues@xml.netbeans.org owner.
