different kind of xml
Given that Visual Studio.NET provides this functionality and is not even a dedicated XML editing tool I'm sure dedicated XML tools like XML Spy also have this ability.

	Yes the result is similar in that the technicaues do produce an XML
	document. My query was regarding exactly "how" that process is achaieved.
	This is the special sauce that sets them apart. I use both XML Spy and
	Stylus Studio and I don't see the featureset I am looking for in either
	product. Yes you can validate against a Schema but I don't see where you can
	dynamically presenting the options that are available at a particular node.

	There are several, the best known of which is probably XML Spy.  Of course,
	the UI does not work exactly as you have described, but the result is pretty
	similar.  And there are others.
