The XML Schema editor provides very good XML Schema editing support in both source and graphical mode, as well as through the outline and properties view. There are however a few areas that could use some work and polish.

This high level enhancement will be used to track the need to improve the XML Schema editor's functional completeness, usability and accessibility.

We will cross reference here the fine grained enhancements and bugs that will help us achieve this goal step by step.
