Great, actually I think http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/ editor is

Thanks for the list. Of course everything is very reasonable. We'll try
to sort them out but it's probably better to file separate bug reports
about issues and suggest patches but of course it's not required. Anyhow
we'll try to fix them. Heh, the problem is that we must make a little
step towards a new release at least.
