That would make sense to me, but I have no idea about docbook (yet).
Try "docbook the definitive guide": http://www.docbook.org
or post to comp.text.sgml/xml

yes. exactly. Well it doesn't have to be db2html, but it should be
easy to get to work (preferably one package)

I just tried setting up:
- openjade 1.3 from openjade.sourceforge.net
- the dsssl-stylesheets from http://nwalsh.com/docbook/dsssl/
- docbook 4.0beta6 XML dtd 
- emacs psgml-mode

psgml and the docbook dtd are working great (I have written a test-article
and I am confident that there are no syntax-errors - psgml also thinks
it's correct).

when running openjade (or onsgmls) I get lots of errors, some of which
are in the dtd:

home$ openjade -t html -wxml -d ~/style/docbook/html/docbook.dsl article.xml
openjade:dtd/docbook-4/docbookx.dtd:74:15:W: named character reference
openjade:dtd/docbook-4/docbookx.dtd:74:17:E: "X20AC" is not a function name
openjade:dtd/docbook-4/ent/iso-amsa.ent:6:17:W: named character reference
openjade:dtd/docbook-4/ent/iso-amsa.ent:6:19:E: "X21B6" is not a function name
openjade:dtd/docbook-4/ent/iso-amsa.ent:7:17:W: named character reference
openjade:dtd/docbook-4/ent/iso-amsa.ent:7:19:E: "X21B7" is not a function name
[...] (more of these)

here is the relevant section in the docbook 4.0 dtd:

<!-- ...................................................................... -->
<!-- ISO character entity sets ............................................ -->

<!ENTITY % dbcent.module "INCLUDE">
<![%dbcent.module;[
<!ENTITY euro "&#x20AC;"><!-- euro sign, U+20AC NEW -->
<!ENTITY % dbcent PUBLIC 
"-//OASIS//ENTITIES DocBook XML Character Entities V4.0beta6//EN"
"dbcentx.mod">
%dbcent;
]]>

Does openjade (or (open-)SP or onsgmls) have problems with XML or
docbook 4.0 ?
