Hi Michele

no the problem is in the xml language definition file which does not 
include _ as a viable character in a tag name.

Attached, you find the fixed xml.lang definition file, which now 
highlights xml file correctly.

I take the chance to ask anyone whether there are other characters for 
tags in xml (and html as well, so also the html.lang file should be 
fixed accordingly) besides : and _?

thanks for the feedback!
cheers
