Hmm, just realized that AbiWord can import and export DocBook (via a plugin)
-- see http://www.abisource.com/twiki/bin/view/Abiword/PluginMatrix. (Which,
BTW, is a TWiki -- if you go there, also check out
http://www.abisource.com/twiki/bin/view/Abiword/AbiWordFAQ for something of a
TWiki "application".

Two asides:
In some sense, AbiWord is something of a native DocBook editor then, as, IIUC,
import and export "filters" in AbiWord don't translate to and from the native
AbiWord file format, but instead directly load / unload data from AbiWords
internal piece table.
And having reminded myself of that, if I could built an import and export
filter for "TWikiText" ...
