About DocBook: One thing that afraids me is that I know *no* software that can edit DocBook.
There are lots of XML editors! You can find a list here[1] that support DocBook, both free and commercial. Most users probably use Emacs/PSGML for XML authoring although it is not restricted to that editor. Purists prefer vi. ;)
If OpenOffice can make DocBooks, or there is other user-friendly software to do that then ok.
Define "user-friendly". ;) WYSYWYG (What you see is what you get) editors are nice to write some letters to your grandma. From my experience they distract you from your text, because you are more busy layouting your text than writing it. :) (Ok, I stretched my argument a bit.) It takes maybe some time to get used to it. However, what you gain in efficiency, speed and portability is invaluable. Of course, DocBook would be too much just for writing a letter (although it is possible.) OpenOffice.org (OOo) *can* export to DocBook---however that doesn't mean that it creates meaningful DocBook XML. OOo can not enforce the structure like a real XML editor. Exporting to XML and writing in XML are two different things.
