Description Chris Webster 2006-09-11 17:53:19 UTC 
The current XML Schema has three navigator views:
* XML View - which is provided for most xml documents and provides an XML
structure view
* Schema  - which provides a read-only tree view (same as schema) for an XML
Schema document (stays in sync with schema) allows double click navigation. 
* Design - provides a node based design view for schema. Supports Navigation
(double click). 

I would like a general review of the navigator views. Providing three views is
somewhat problematic in that the navigator infrastructure does not remember the
last view, so context is sometimes lost when switching between windows. It is
not clear that all three views are useful.
