Intellisense for XML config files broken in VS 2008?

I remember having trouble in VS 2005 with Intellisense not working - the trick back in those days was to remove the namespace declaration that was added by various tools. As long as the content was in no namespace, Intellisense seemed to work.

In VS 2008, Intellisense for config files was working great for me until recently, and now, regardless of whether I have the namespace or not, it appears hopelessly broken. I checked under XML|Schemas to see if the schema was in place, and indeed I have DotNetConfig.xsd listed in there for an empty namespace, and it's got the little green checkmark by it, which makes me think VS recognizes that this is the schema it's supposed to use, but still no joy. There are a few other schemas listed here (DotNetConfig30.xsd, for example), but none of those have checks by them - only DotNetConfig.xsd is checked.

Has anyone else seen this?
