I also still dream about lyx being the first decent docbook editor.
are you aware of the fact that lyx already have output routines for docbook?
Yes, but I recall being told that it wasn't supported and that if it
still worked it was pretty much by good luck these days.
If that is no longer true, I'd be glad to know!
It is still true.
its not maintained, but it should work. the problem is that it outputs
docbook sgml, version 4.x. if i understand correctly transforming
it into docbook xml is oneliner patch in lyx sources. what involves
transformation into newer version, that i'm not sure but there are
already working tools which do this if its not easy for us.
to me it looks like that as far lyx sources is concerned it would
be quite easy to make your dream true. what we miss is somebody
who knows docbook well enough to provide us the information
what exactly should be changed in the output xml file (hint!).

Thanks - you give me good hope.
It is ironic that I want to use Lyx to avoid having to know docbook too
well, but may have to learn it to fixup lyx!
Ah well!
