Karl, Have you gotten any answers on this?
I have the same problem - my requirements are to be able to introspect (love that word choice, BTW) a collection of 30+ nested schemata and display them in a single tree, with a separate pane displaying the properties of the selected entity. BTW, can anyone point me to the documentation for the features and properties supported by XMLGrammarPreparser? Hoping there will be something there to help me out... Right now we're stuck at 2.2.1, and I can't see any nested items. The good news is that I can move up to the latest available that will ship by 4Q 2003 for this feature.
