Sure it (Spy) does.  That is what the "Entry Helpers" pane is for.  If it is
not open (it normally is by default) you can open if from the "Window" menu.
You can start a new xml file, asdsign a schema or dtd to it, and Spy will
present allowable elements, etc., in the Entry Helpers pane.

Also, others have mentioned other products, although it is true that more of
them work with DTDs only than with XML Schemas.
