[NTLUG:Discuss] OT but don't know where else to turn: HTML Editors

Does anyone know of a "politically INcorrect" GUI HTML editor (other 
than a basic text editor)?  The reason I ask is I find myself fighting 
"helpful" things HTML editors do "for me" too often.  Such things as 
mangling the indicators for ASP scripting and inserting <body> tags when 
I'm writing content for <iframes> where a <body> tag causes the target 
to be a separate web page rather than the <iframe> (yea, I know, frames 
are politically incorrect - they get the job done).  Kompozer is where I 
noticed the two symptoms just mentioned.  Given that Amaya is produced 
by the w3 organization I don't have much hope for it.  I haven't tried 
SeaMonkey but would prefer to not have to install and test just to learn 
that it was politically correct as well.

Even if the editor was politically correct by default, if it had an 
option to suppress political correctness that would be fine.
