It allows you to use a schema plus an instance document, and drag items from the instance doc to a sem-graphical editor. XML Spy then looks at the schema and knows whether you have dragged a repeating element, for instance, so sticks in an xsl:for-each element round the HTML for that element. Tha kind of thing could make a difference on productivity, especially for a new user. Francis.
