VS 2003 XML editor only supports limited subset of XML schema syntax. The
editor was not designed to be full featured XML editor, it is mostly
suitable for editing schemas generated by VS itself. It does not support
element inheritance, included or inline schemas.

VS 2005 has fully featured XML/XSL editor and includes XSLT debugger as
well.
