Our application uses a XML configuation file. I thought that it would be nice to distribute some small, lightweight XML editor with our application that the user can use to edit the config file. Features should be:

Small and lightweight (ideally, a small .exe that does not require installation),
free, with license terms that permit distributing it with a commercial application,
understands XML schemas (auto-completion, show validation errors).

Does anyone know of such an editor?
