Well, this isn't a good answer, but NotePad and WordPad work pretty darn well, with NotePad working better but not handling big xml files (unless this isn't an issue with WinXP NotePad, I don't recall).

Cons:
- With WordPad, if you copy from a web browser then paste it in else it'll screw up the file's format, so you have to paste into a blank NotePad first then recopy it (this strips the formatting like font, bold, etc.).
- No color coding, but you get over that pretty quick...

Pros:
- With NotePad there aren't any tricks, it's just as plain as can be.
- You can strip the stupid text file format header UIBuilder uses with NotePad.
- Free.

I imagine someone will suggest some actual xml editors, but just making sure you know stuff you already have works pretty well.
