The reason this doesn't work, sadly, is due to a limitation of the  
folding engine. In a nutshell, the "closing" fold needs to be at the  
same tab stop as the "opening". In my experience the indenting  
behaviour maps fairly consistently with the folding behaviour.

A workaround to make the example fold, and perhaps re-indent properly:

<gaga>
     <bar at1="" at2="" at3="" at4="" at5=""
         at6="" at7="" at8="" at9="" at10=""
     />
     gaga
</gaga>

Less than ideal, I'll grant, but you get used to it.
