I was actually looking at this yesterday. The primary candidate was XEE (XMLmind XML Editor), a lush graphical tool, but it's not free (30-day evaluation edition available). I also looked at asciicode [1]. It changes the paradigm by allowing one to use its own simple wiki-style syntax and then have that converted to XML. I stopped looking at it when I realized it could lead to a lot of non-standard XML unless everyone was using it, making things even more confusing. This may not be the case so there is still potential here.
