I’m trying to customize some TFS work items via the VS2008 xml editor, but every time I open a work item xml file it jumps to the graphical designer. All that gives me is a ‘View XML’ button that doesn’t let you edit the xml directly.

I don’t have TFS but I know in regular VS there is an Open With… option in most items’ contextual menu that even let you change the default editor. Very useful when you are tired of the Designer opening instead of the Code file on Windows forms.
