Support for CSS3 rem font sizing
CSS3 introduced rem (Root em) font sizing which gives a much easier method of keeping consistent font sizing throughout pages. EWs Design View and Intellisense needs to support this.

jQuery Aware?
I think this may already be otw. I'm not sure, so I want to make sure it is at least listed. EW5 should have good/updated intellisense for jQuery. Maybe a .dll that would be updated or added by the dev that would enable intellisense support for w/e kit we like (dojo, jQuery etc)

Design tools for mobile sites
Mobile web browsing is predicted to overtake desktop browsing in the next two to four years depending on which survey you read. In some markets it's already over 25%.
xWeb needs to support this and could do so by, among other things:
Supporting CSS3 media queries.
Having mobile browser sizes in SuperPreview.
Having mobile browsers available on the SurePreview Remote service.
Having built-in phone emulators. (The Slapshot add-in which used the original WP7 emulator is now broken).
Support the jQuery Moble and jQTouch frameworks.

MathML
Could you add the <math> tag to the tags list in the toolbox. In addition, when someone adds <math> to a web page, nothing at all appears in the WYSIWYG view. Plus, the <math> related tags do not appear in the tag navigator at the top of the page. Integration with an equation editor would be best of all.

SVG
Could you add the <svg> tag to the tags list in the toolbox. Ideally, EW would include an SVG editor (It doesn't need to be full featured) to enable developers to include simple drawings and diagrams (similar to MS Word). An alternative might be to make Expression Design have a pure SVG option.

Re-implement VBA or even VB/.NET extensions for EW.
Apparently, VBA was included in a previous version of EW. VBA would allow automation of some steps in various tasks in EW. It would be very valuable.

code view tag selection
Xweb v4 has Find Matching Tag (FMT) code view toolbar button. FMT is badly implemented. Click this button and it only finds the end tag, and only when entire tag contents are selected. Does not detect start tag! Find Matching Tag should toggle automatically between start and end tags. It should browse to start and end tags without selecting tag contents. Please fix Find Matching Tag.

folder list file naming [mia]
change filename should be just one click to select ike Windows Explorer
Also Properties dialog for file and Page Properties dialog could be improved to allow filename changing. Renaming file in folder List is exceedingly difficult. Typeface depliyed makes accurate cursor positioning virtually impossible. Other than using Windows Explorer and using F5 Folder List refresh in Web4 (sadly now one of best methods for Web4 file renaming) user can
1. click to select file
2. click again to slect entire filename
3. press right arrow to avoid deleting entire filename with extension
4. press left arrow to start moving cursor… more1 vote -
save copy as [mia]
SAVE COPY AS on file menu! Current file menu administration is like primitive notepad in Windows 3.1. Awful! Mouse right click only offers Copy here ... leaving a filename that has to be renamed. Primitive file menu Save as ... forces closing of current file and forces manual find/re-open file de-activated by save as command. Let's get rid of MONOTASKING FILE ADMINISTRATION!! Fix it please. You can even create "Save copy as ... " toolbar button and right-ckick option.

design view selection highlight
Sorry we took so long to send this in. IMPORTANT! User selections in Xweb4 currently almost invisible - in fact, by inspection Jim Cheshire using two of my displays concluded "invisible" - [help]. How about page editor options - color coding - design view settings - display items ! include "Design view workspace highlights" Ditto for code view settings - "Code view workspace highlights.
