XML planning page for 6.1

This is the planning page for XML tools in Netbeans 6.1. The goal is to improve various functionalities in XML. We'll resume working on the unfinished jobs in 6.0. In summary, here is a list of 6.1 goals:

• Start lexer migration. See the One Pager for details.
• Performance in working with bigger XML and schema files. Here is a list of performance issues in XML, however, for 6.1, not all of these are important.
• Integrate few features. See the following table.
• Fix as many bugs as possible.
