There's Norm's DocBook-specific IDE:

  http://www.nwalsh.com/emacs/docbookide/index.html

But if you ask because of the problem you mention below (working with
XHTML), I guess that's not going to help you.

I remember hearing somewhere else about this (psgml not liking the
xml:lang attribute). But I'm sure it's not a problem with psgml
itself, but instead a problem specific to your environment.

I say I'm sure because I do all my XHTML authoring in Emacs/psgml and
have no trouble using any of the XML DTDs (transitional, strict,
frameset). Psgml parses all of them without squacking, and lets me
insert the xml:lang attribute anywhere the DTDs say it's valid.

What exactly is the error message you're getting?
