Of course. Most of the time you can just point your browser to the URL that serves as the namespace for the XML document. This also works with XML Schema: http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema
The XSD is linked from there.

You can test the validation of an XSD schema via the command line, e.g.:
$ xmllint -noout -schema XMLSchema.xsd myschema.xsd
