At least that will let you keep a lot of options open.  Free tools like 
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/ (personal edition) and other close to 
WYSIWYG editors have good support for DocBook.  Large tables are a pain 
to edit in text editor form, wiki style tags help somewhat but are far 
from ideal. 

Just my $0.05.
