LyX is exporting this and claiming that it's SGML? That's not supported
by the standard SGML DCL. XML uses that syntax by default. Weird

Uh, those should work in DocBook, as far as I know. I don't use them to
encapsulate text, instead I use <quote></quote>. Don't know if LyX has
that capability. This one warrants more investigation, to see why your

This is something horked in LyX. Perhaps bug reports to the LyX folks
are in order. I don't have a good work around though.
