Breakpoints on the stylesheet are simple - just listen to trace events and we are guaranteed to hit every node in the stylesheet and therefore all breakpoints in the stylesheet.
But trace events are not fired for every node in the _source_ document, so breakpoints on source nodes will frequently be missed...not sure how to solve this one??

A line can have multiple markers in the leftmost column. If you hover
over the breakpoint, a tooltip text will explain the icons mushed
together underneath.
I assume you will need a different action for setting XML breakpoints?
