There are tools which make writing xml very easy. Even WYSIWYG editors are available. Unfortunately none of them fullfill all of our requirements. Once I suggested to have a closer look into http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/ It has everything one needs and is free (altough not OpenSource), but does some xml formatting which didn't meet the taste of our vim users :)

greetings,
