Docbook in LyX

Following our hot conversation about DocBook for the moment... (and switching to
MCF-general for this)

I just saw this article today :

It seems that LyX is a bit complicated and not WYSIWYG. So it will be no gain
over a simple XML editor (well, SciTE is a great one for that, I might even make
the DocBook extension handler very quickly).

Also I'm not sure if there will ever be any WYSIWYG docbook editor. Because
DocBook is worth for long documents. And so there are probably split in many
files with some includes (XML/SGML) for different features/entities. And no
existing word processor (because that's what it is in the end) are capable of
doing that for the moment. Even editing HTML+CSS+XSI/PHP document in WYSIWYG is
far from good for the moment.

So I think it's important to know that working with DocBook will involve reading
some XML syntax. Hopefully most of us can already read/write HTML fluently.
Learning a new set of tags (which all seem very intuitive) won't be too hard.
