Good points!

I modified ptolemy/actor/gui/PortConfigurerDialog.java and made the width of
the type column wider and the height of the rows greater.

I modified ptolemy/data/expr/Constants.java and changed "xmltoken" to "xml".

The port dialog could use some work, but that would be more of an enhancement
than a bug fix.

I'm leaving this bug for Derik to close or to change to an enhancement.
