Is there a setting to infer an XML Schema or DTD grammar for a file
being edited depending on the root element name even if there is no
DOCTYPE declaration or XML Schema location specified? This is
mostly relevant for document types defined in the no namespace.

"even if" is better stated as "when".

There is an option in the Preferences page (Preferences -> XML ->
Source) under grammar constratins that says "Use Inferred grammar in
absence of DTD/Schema". That might get you what you are looking for.

As far as I get it, this option dynamically builds a grammar using
the elements already found in the document. I was asking whether a
predefined grammar could be inferred depending on the present root
(document) element - pretty much like the standard catalog entries
but to map a document element name to a DTD/Schema. Again, usage of
XML Schema this way would make sense only for schemas which define
elements in no namespace - the other case is already handled by the
standard catalog entries.

Just for reference, the thing I'm talking about could be seen in the
features of the XMLBuddy editor <http://xmlbuddy.com/2.0/features.html>:

Take a look at the previous discussion here [1]. It sounds related to
what you're looking for...
