Thank you, it helped much :-).

I elaborated a very basic derived mode (attached) with the imenu
tagging for the titles. Then I discovered the function:
nxml-hide-all-text-content
which shows in the editing buffer the outline of the whole document.

My ideal solution would be to find a way to use semantic to analyze
somehow these tags to show up in the speedbar or in the ECB methods
buffer this outline.

Kind regards.
