I guess you are not using an IDE to open domain.xml for GlassFish v1 or
v2 (dtd based).

our NetBeans plugin register all the GlassFish dtds/schema so you can
get inline xml code completion
depending on the cursor position as well as xml validation and xml check
(last 2 icons of the xml editor toolbar in NetBeans).

Same for Eclipse as you can see in the attached images.
