In my opinion that is a bad idea. This will bloat the editor. XHTML and CSS are not all that hard to learn, and you can quickly learn by heart the properties. Is this going to save you that much typing?
Hi Nick,
I think your comment is 100% correct but so is mine...I think all too often people like to think in black and white, a program should or should not have a particular feature. Whereas a great program is one that would augment the working style for the particular user.
What one forgets is that users come in all varieties of experience and that typing code might be the day in day out task for one person while another user (like me) will switch between working on a 3D project, motion graphics, illustration or website and that I forget some syntax on occasion (mostly CSS stuff).
Anyway I would hope that the developer listens to both of us and if it is something that is requested by many people will not feel the need to make a boolean choice but rather provide a boolean box for turning a feature on and off ; )
Warm Regards,

PS. I also like the hinting when I start playing around with a new language and I have been eyeing ruby...
