Hi Sergey,

Do you know of any reason why this behavior isn't enabled by default. I mean there must be a reason even though it might *just* be, lack of testing.

The official reason is luck of time to test the feature.

Technically there is not a lot to test there. Hierarchy is created with every XSLT Debugger session no matter what. Its primary use resolve paths of locally cached http stylesheets to the original URIs. (PDB doesn’t allow http/ftp paths). The only thing reg key controls is flag __VSADDVPFLAGS.ADDVP_AddToProjectWindow when the hierarchy is added to solution by AddVirtualProject().

The same time this is not fully backed feature. We didn’t spend any time thinking about UI (Icons, title, …). The big open question is what to do at design time? We need an analog of Schema Explorer aka XSLT Explorer.

So don’t afraid to use it.
