PrimalScript will do tag completion and syntax coloring, but not
validation (on the request list, I hope they implement it soon). It
does however do tag insight for any XML based on a DTD (no XSD support
for insight). You can configure any extesion as being XML content and
can associate a DTD with an extension (so no DTD declaration in the
XML file itself is needed for insight to work).
Validation can be performed with an external validator and linked to a
project command or tool for easy access within the IDE.
It also supports lots of other languages and has a version that also
supports .NET languages called PrimalCode. It's very small and very
fast.

I've been using it for about 2 years for XML, CFML, and ActionScript
and our company has purchased about 20 licenses.

I am looking for a light-weight Xml editor. The only features I really
want is tag autocompletion (i.e. I type in <blah> and it auto completes
the </blah>), syntax coloring and validation for correctness (don't care
about validating against schemas).
It must be fast to start and have a simple interface.
I tried out XmlSpy, but it is too bulky and takes a while to start.
VS.NET is a dog as well, as we all know.
XmlPad did everything I wanted but it only accepts files with a certain
extention (.xml, .xsl and some others). I need it to accept a file with
any extention as long as the content inside is XML. This is because I
work with NAnt files a lot which typically have .build extention.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
