okay so the title is horrible but take a look at this mockup.
for the day we support external styles this sort of functionality would be pure gold

Do we really need separate "XML" and "Style" versions of the tree? I'm not particularly attached to the current XML tree -- it seems like having a single version with the (element, id, class) columns would be fine.

Other XML information would be out of place in the context of managing styles. That's why I reckon xml editor / style editor switcher buttons would be useful. ( I just think we need an area to edit other attributes like d="" and transformMatrix="". ) and not think about styles as much.
I'll run through some desired behaviour of the editor.
When the editor is in view, selected objects will automatically open to the element style tab only if there are inline styles specified.
The global styles and possibly external style tabs are highlighted if there are styles in them affecting the selected object.
Within the editor area the style lines affecting the object should be highlighted
that add file button really should be named apply/use external stylesheet. Let me know if more mockups will help visualise this.

So... the "XML" and "Style" buttons affect the right hand side? Is the left side the best place to put them then?

I was thinking we switch to the old xml editor. but if its as easy to keep consistency then we should only affect the right hand side switching between a stylesheet editor and a list of element functions eg cx="", cy="", d=""
