I'm using Stylus Studio, and one of the things I like about it is that I can
validate easily using any schema processor (including my own), which is
rather necessary given the variations between products. Certainly publishing
a schema that you've only checked with one tool is pretty irresponsible.

I agree that it would be great to have access to some of the refactorings
that I'm used to in my Java IDE. I'm not a great fan of graphical
representations (it's hard enough to learn one representation without having
to learn several), but easy navigation of schemas is definitely needed.
