Yes, but XSD 1.0 only, not XSD 1.1.

1) Quick and dirty way. Send this person a document template along with 
the XSD and the CSS stylesheet (both found in the  mydoc_files/ folder 
in the example below).

The document template could look like this:
---
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="mydoc_files/mydoc.css"?>
<mydoc xmlns="http://www.acme.com/ns/mydoc"
          xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
          xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.acme.com/ns/mydoc
                              mydoc_files/mydoc.xsd">
   <title></title>
   <paragraph></paragraph>
</mydoc>
---

OR

2) Recommended method. Teach XMLmind XML Editor about your custom XSD by 
writing a very simple configuration file for XXE" (a ".xxe" file).

See "Writing a configuration file for XXE", 
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/configure/config_file.html



Method (1) and (2) take about the same amount of time and efforts given 
the fact that most of the time will be spent writing the CSS stylesheet.

CSS)", http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/csssupport/index.html
