helping html-illiterate content managers

Hi,
I know of no other group with such a vast storehouse of knowledge &
experience & once again I need to call on you.
While I understand the "comfort" that html-illiterates feel when using a
WYSIWYG editor like Front Page, I cringe when I see what it does to my
pretty validated code.  The last barrier at work to allowing us at work to
use the editor of our choice is that once the site is finished, it gets
turned over to html-illiterate content managers who must add and delete
content.
We are dealing with IE & NN version 4+ sites...I want to use validated HTML
with CSS1, but am encountering resistance.  Is there a way to make a
page/site in the editor of one's choice (non-WYSIWYG, but not Notepad), &
still make it easy for HTML-illiterates (who are not in the process now, nor
will ever want to try, learning HTML) to add/delete content without either
freaking them out, or destroying validated code?  & how can I explain this
so the diehard in the department (with seniority) won't feel attacked?
I made a validated page today, & then stuck it in FP (as per current
policy), & it stripped out end tags & non-breaking spaces & other horrendous
things!  This can't go on!

awaiting replies impatiently  : )
