Actually nXML mode has made editing DocBook and other XML files a fun
process. At least less "painful" than editing LaTeX files to many
people.
It is true that many open-source tools around DocBook are still not
perfect, but they should be good enough for most of the work of most
users. Some commercial tools exist and are better, but they are not
free. (I have not used reST, however it does not seem to me that it has
more tools than DocBook.)

I just checked reST markup specifications, and they do look powerful
(but not very lightweight). Maybe it *is* time to have a standard to
unify all these plain-text based lightweight markup languages: Muse,
Org, reST, asciidoc, all kinds of *wiki*, doxygen styles, etc. These
languages won't be lightweight and easy to read once they become more
powerful. At that point, I'd prefer to go back to LaTeX or DocBook.

That may require some code sharing/merging between rst.el and Org-mode,
I guess. :-)
