I'm personally extremely happy with Amaya (http://www.w3.org/Amaya/). 
It's free, and it has an unique combination of structural and WYSIWYG 
(or actually WYSIWYM - what you see is what you mean) editing (WYSIWYG 
for reflowing HTML doesn't exactly exist). It's not a product, and 
therefore it's sometimes a bit flaky, and I recommend frequent saving 
and reload if the display starts to look strange.

I haven't used it for editing IDs and RFCs, because it doesn't do 
generic XML, but I'm editing all my lecture notes/slides with it, as 
well as quite a bit of other stuff. Of course, YMMV.
