  George,

  Thank you for those detailed infos.  I will look at the doc and
try to convince my fingers to integrate those behavioral
changes ;-)

  Well, I was maybe not clear.  I indent elements by 3, but long
XPath expressions in XSLT (they are attribute values) are spanned
over multiple lines, indented by 4 (from the element opening '<'
column), then inner-XPath indentation is 2 spaces.  Ok, I know,
that can sound weird :-)  I was just surprised a simple paste was
changing that, but....

  ...excellent!

  Mmh...  I do align attributes quite often.  Especially in XML
Schema (and XSLT).  And for what I see around me, it seems to be
quite usual (at least in XML Schema).  Maybe worth adding it?

  I think I'm gonna love that one!  I am always a bit worry when
using Cmd-P, as this is a command acting on the whole file, where
most of the time Cmd-i seems to be exactly what I want.  Thanks!

  Great!

  Thanks again for your help, regards,
