I have been working on an XML file for the http://www.bahaullah.org site (see the post below). Anyway, after creating and editing it in Dreamweaver CS3, it worked fine parsing it using XMLParse (in ColdFusion). However after editing the exact same file in Microsoft XML Notepad, XMLParse crashed -- apparently XML Notepad added some additional hidden characters at the beginning of the xml file (that could only be seen with VI).
Anyway, after some digging to find a better XML editor that wouldn't cost a lot (XML Spy is $500 and oXygen is $200+) I found Liquid XML Studio. It's a great program and has a free version. Very easy to use and you can't beat the price! I was able to create an xml schema and validate the original doc in about an hour (with a little help from online tutorials).
Getting to this point has cause a LOT of headaches but it was worth the trip. Now others will be able to edit the doc and validate it without paying a penny for an editor...
