Create XML Schema def for Macros

We often go to the source tab to add trace statements, create and update macro variables, and more. It would be enormously helpful to have an XSD part of the macro XML header so that we can use content assist when editing the file directly.

    Adding something to the GUI would certainly help, however we are not exactly novices at this. We've edited the macros on the fly and have often used REGEX to modify setting when doing automated deployment between a dev and production area. I would say a schema would still be preferred, but having a GUI function to add tracing in the macro using the VME would be very welcome.

    We discourage source editing of macros. Alternatively, could we add something to the GUI to allow you to add or edit trace actions, so that you would not need to do this in the source? If we did that a schema for content assist would not be required.
