That would be nice.

I understand your doubts about duplicating most of the Microsoft XML
editor functionality.
Both auto-formatting the xml source and using the debugger are things
that I'd like to use. As far as I understand, I need to switch the xml
editor every time.
Maybe it's possible to provide a menu button (eg like windows explorer
icons/list/details) for dynamically switching the editor in the visual
xslt toolbar?
