Has anyone been able to export GraphML, readable by Gephi or yEd, which properly displays labels in Gephi/yEd?

I'm using the latest Neo4j community and APOC; I can export GraphML from APOC just fine, and import into Gephi/yEd, but there doesn't seem to be a way to load the attributes/key/data elements, so that useful labels can be displayed.

If you can figure out what's missing to help me do it correctly for gephi then please let me know.

I found a bit more.  The problem is with the way the GraphML is formatted. The format that Gephi "likes" is documented here: http://forum-gephi.org/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=5878&p=13712&hilit=graphml#p13712 

Unfortunately, the Gephi documentation implies that the format that APOC generates GraphML works, which it does not: https://gephi.org/users/supported-graph-formats/graphml-format/

Sigh...

Here's a bit more information.  Looks like a Gephi issue, now entered into their development queue: http://forum-gephi.org/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=5939 and https://github.com/gephi/gephi/issues/1656
