Try indenting the following in nxml-mode and xml-mode:

</outermost>

I think xml-mode wins here.


This has been discussed here before. Try it with some real elements...

<html>
 <body><b>
   <i>Duh</i>
   </b>
 </body>
</html>

Which indentation looks more correct now?
I am not sure, but the main thing is if we can get rid of one of those (and I suggest to get rid of nxml-mode's variant because I think there is a bug there).
nxml's indentation is based on the fact that you are using <inner2> in a way that suggests that it has inline, not block semantics.
