In order to convert the document, yes, do search for openjade as well.
But for anyone to write this type of document, simply make sure that the
right layout files are in place and whatever other LyX specific files are
needed. It's the users problem if he/she wants to write a DocBook
document without the extra tools to actually do anything sensible with them.

Great! I'll whatch out for the Win32 port of it and get it right away for
my Linux box.

I think this might be a problem with MiKTeX. There are versions of JadeTeX
out there made for MiKTeX 1.2?, and when installed it wrecks havoc with
some of the setup.
I installed this version if JadeTeX and started experiencing problems with
the dvi files. I then reinstalled then latest beta of MiKTeX. Both have
worked just fine after that, and I once again have correct dvi files.

I'm only too happy to hear that there is some sort of progress on the matter.
