Screem <http://www.screem.org/> can do pretty much all of this. It also
has a built-in WYSIWYG *preview* (not *editor* -- uses either Gecko or
GtkHTML to provide this preview), spelling checker, support for CVS as a
version control system. It will properly read DTDs, so it can syntax
highlight not just HTML, but also other XML/SGML files with DOCTYPEs.

Screem is mostly developed for Linux/UNIX, but I imagine it could be made
to run on Mac OS X and Windows, providing an X server is installed.
