Though I'm not familiar with the extension myself, I noticed that the
Wikipedia DocBook entry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DocBook) also
mentions it.  Would it be appropriate to add support, presumably via
auto-mode-alist and schemas.xml?

The original report,
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=498125, contains a
patch against the Debian nxml-mode package.  It would need some
adjustment to work with Emacs itself.

Thanks

Trivial: '.dbk' is added to the auto-mode-alist (six chars)
and the uri pattern '*.dbk' is added for typeId DocBook to
schemas.xml (one line). Thanks for the reminder!

Fixed, thanks.
