Sorry, I tried this editor just now (v.2.5), and it saves XML source 
unacceptably, at least by default (and I see no option for fixing this, at 
first glance.)

it replaces all constants like & with harder-to-understand codes like " 
, etc.  and also removes all pretty-print indentation.

again, this might be configurable, but failing that, please don't mess up our 
source with this editor.

it seems like a nice editor otherwise.

sorry, I don't know of other GUI editors to recommend. I use Idea for "raw" xml 
editing for docbook.
