What is a good XML visualization tool? In a more document friendly way. XML spy had a grid view but that wasn't decent enough to paste in a design document

A:
I've used several products. The ones that I can recommend are:
SchemaAgent (http://www.altova.com/schemaagent.html)
From their feature list:
- Connect to any file repository to analyze file relationships
- Visualize files as graphical components
- Immediately identify linked, referenced & related files
- Analyze file relationships based on color coded lines
- View details of displayed files (IIRs, global elements, namespaces, etc.)
- Drag & drop to manage IIR relationships between XSD, XSLT & WSDL files
- Automatically insert & save required IIR code in impacted files
- Build complex XSD, XSLT & WSDL files from smaller components
- Re-use standardized components in a modular development approach
- Access SchemaAgent schema components in XMLSpy schema editor
- Save & print graphical designs to document your XML information architecture
- Understand file dependencies & the impact of every change
and
XPathVisualiser (http://www.xml.com/pub/p/275)
- Disadvantage (at least in my eyes): requires MSXML3 and IE
