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
