XStandard is very good - there is a freeware version. For my money the commercial version is worth it and not expensive compared to others commercial XHTML editors. Very easy to add custom mark-up to support styles and drag/drop image/file upload is neat.

Re: [WSG] XHTML complient in-browser Rich Text Editor.
Kupu is a client-side WYSIWYG editor that is written entirely in JavaScript, works on Internet Explorer as well as Mozilla based browsers and can be integrated into any type of webserver. It has a clean, object-oriented codebase and a flexible plugin API. It supports client-side cleanup (e.g. Word markup) and returns well-formed XML (very clean HTML that can be parsed easily on the server). To get a copy or get more information, go to the Kupu website at http://kupu.oscom.org. ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help **

TinyMCE is what I use and recommend: http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/ It usually outputs valid code.
