HLSL Syntax Highlighting in XNA Express?

This is incredibly minor, but are there any plans to add HLSL Syntax Highlighting to XNA Studio Express? Shaders aren't going away for a while, and it would be quite useful to have some syntax support in XNA.

Hang on a minute, shouldn't those of us who have shelled out a fortune to get the pro version of VS2005 get that first?

Seriously though, it is about time that feature was put back into VS, along with the long lost shader debugger.

Shader highlighting is disabled for Express

Shader highlighting is already in full VS as long as you install the DirectX SDK

Shader debugging has moved to PIX with the August 06 SDK - see http://msdn.microsoft.com/directx/sdk/ though I've not tired it yet to see how useful it is
