(Did not follow this thread completely)
Quanta suite is a great web-dev tool. It produces web-suitable html,xhtml (transitional,strict,basic), xml, wml ... according to the project DTD definition settings.
It comes with several plugin which makes web-dev life quite easy
e.g for php developers among others, such vars completion full control, syntax and php-function highlighting and arguments reminder.
Stylesheets are also easy to implement.
It's really worth to have a look.
