You know, the same functionality that is found here in the UT editor being used to create this message. No sir. That would be too easy.

Mike,
That bothered me too and I don't think that there is a way. Blend doesn't really sound to be a tool for developers. Besides weird behavior like you described it has other quirks like claiming that a perfectly valid XAML is invalid. A simple example would be SL 3 toolkit's autocompletebox (datagrid). Despite all the namespaces are defined and XAML works perfectly under VS it gives invalid XAML in Blend.
(and who in the hell thought of a near black background - and no white choice?).
