The DocBook wiki pointed me to this one:
	http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=301

I haven't tried it myself since I'm an emacs user (I still use the
good old nsgml, though.  As long as it works for me I haven't felt the
need to take the step to nxml).

You might find other editors in the wiki of interest:
	http://wiki.docbook.org/topic/DocBookAuthoringTools

The important part is to find an editor that understands the
DTD/schema, and adapts to it.  Then the editor will tell you what tags
are legal at any given point, what children and attributes are
required, etc.
