We've been using 0.9x versions of epcEdit for the last few months
(http://www.tksgml.de/ maybe moved to http://www.epcedit.de/) but the
recently released v1.0 only gives 60?90? days use before requiring
payment. It has crashed a few times (usually on Widnos) but we've
used it to create a 300+ page book and will do a second next month.
Win32, Linux/i386 and Solaris versions available. Uses Tcl/Tk and a
custom library. Some niggles with the user interface (cursor moving
off-screen during a large paste, ...) but it absolutely enforces the
schema and can show list the valid tags at each point.
We'll be buying it before the end of June for I think c. us$400
