XML editor

Does anyone know of an XML editor for Mac (or Windows or Linux) which preserves whitespace in the input? That is, I want it to avoid making unnecessary changes just because its parser ignores whitespace between elements. Also, it should be able "render" a decent display, not just bare XML - I'm using DocBook.

I have tried XMLmind and oXygen, but they both have different ideas about how to prettify the input.

Now, if I was the only one working on these files, I wouldn't care about this issue. But I'm part of a team, using a SVN repository to maintain the files. When I think I have changed one line but I check in thousands of bogus differences, the other team members get kind of testy.
