I guess I'd have to see it in practice, but it might be a little 
confusing (e.g. it looks like an xml tag, but sort of isn't).

Maybe [+div] would be an alternative then.

Yes, the name is important; not that it has angled brackets.

BTW, on a larger and more forward-looking note, why can't I grab an 
element (let's say the div in this case), and drag it around like in a 
good outliner?  OK, I know one answer is because it might become really 
tricky trying to place that content elsewhere, but wouldn't this be a 
useful feature for an xml editor to have?
