As I said then, this is absolutely untrue. OpenOffice.org, for example,
works with DocBook XML but not SGML. There are also a plethora of XML
editing and publishing tools which can been used for Docbook XML which
are not available for SGML. A simple look at this page:
http://wiki.docbook.org/topic/DocBookAuthoringTools
.... shows that there are more than twice as many authoring tools which
support only XML as support SGML -- and that most of the tools which
support SGML are out-of-maintenance.
