In my tests of XML Spy, I found it to be a less-than-adequate XML document editor. It seems to be quite capable for data-oriented XML entry, but not for writing documents. XMLMind is a free editor with plenty of limitations (in particular, it doesn't handle entities well. If it is able to resolve a text entity, it will replace the entity with its value.), but for those unfamiliar with programming and markup, it's a reasonable free editor. If you have a budget, go for XMetal (from Corel) or Epic (from Arbortext). XMetal is the cheaper of the two, but I think Epic is worth it if you'll be doing a lot of work.
That's just my two bits.

Ideally I'd like to do so in an environment that is easy for those who are unfamiliar with programming and mark up to understand. Currently I am trying to use XMLSPY. If someone has attempted this before I would very much appreciate input into the feasibility of this plan or if someone can suggest an information resource that would be great too. Thanks, Corey
