The Jason Salas Experience

I'm searching for a workaround to handle manually-edited XML files for my site. I've been using Microsoft XML NotePad for years, but the one knock I've always had against it is its inability to handle CDATA. As far as I know, you can't add parsed text delimiters to XML elements from within the utility's GUI, and it overwrites such a section of an imported XML document with parsed data. This is killing one of my applications, so I need to switch to something that's graphical and quick to use, but also lightweight and free.

Anyone got any suggestions?
