--- Comment #4 from Zenaan Harkness <zen@freedbms.net> ---
Potential future enhancements may provide new views, such as:
- Raw XML editing, bug #86846
- entities and their respective views, bug #101774

Also split panes should probably be carefully considered in relation to this
bug - since each of the split panes should be able to show any available view
for the current content type, see bug #31481

I think that bug #101776 (Calc like navigation bar below each view pane) would
be ideal UI to provide easiest UX to "quickly change the view type of a
particular pane - since if we rely on big fat button (not even multiple
buttons) in the big fat toolbar above, then you would always have to click into
the document in the particular split pane (above, below, left or right etc) and
THEN click on the big ugly "split button" and THEN click on the preferred view.
Clunky yes?

ALSO, clicking into one of the split panes, to get focus there in order to then
change its view type by clicking on big ugly buttons (rather than small lithe
buttons), would remove any "current selection" in that view pane - which might
exactly what the user does NOT want to happen - yet another reason to provide a
calc-like "mini navigator" at the bottom of each view (read "split pane"),
rather than a single big ugly combo drop down button on the big ugly toolbar.

"Big, ugly" - you can tell I like it, yes? ;)

Anyway, some serious UX issues I hope we must consider..
