Description
- Open *.xml file with VS Code
- Format file using SHIFT + ALT + F
- OMG my XML formatter is broken? 😨
- Cancel and be patient, repeat formatting
- At around 1m15, different misleading popup 😨
- Cancel, wait and repeat formatting
- At around 1m20, formatting is ok

- It would be great if I can prioritize formatting extensions to load first (will check for this)
- It would be great if I would get a more adequate message indicating the registered XML formatter is not loaded yet

Research direction
Reproduce the delay in VS Code by opening an XML file and invoking formatting before the XML formatter has loaded. Trace the formatter extension-loading behavior and define completion as a clear message while loading, followed by successful formatting once the formatter is available.
