Thanks for all the great suggestions.

The XXE XML editor and the DocBook DTD seems to be working pretty well
for my needs.  I'll probably pick up the Oreilly book on DocBook too.

It seems like morphic would be a great way to author documents where you
want to concern yourself more with content than with presentation.  To
support this style of writing, it seems that you need two things:

 - a rough WYSIWYG approximation
 - the ability to get at the components of the underlying document to
set attributes and things

The morphic UI for pulling up halos on morphs would seem like a great
way to provide this functionality.
