Ok, me too :)

About what kate does with the XMO tools + XML validation plugins

To get the support in Kate
* enable the two plugins (from the kdeaddons modules)
* Open your docbook file and assign a DTD (XML->Assign DTD)

You will now have autocompletion of valid tags, attributes and entities, a 
shortcut for closing the nearest open tag, a action (ctrl + kp enter) to mark 
up your selection, which includes a drop down of valid tags if a DTD is 
assigned, and a validater which passes the file through XMLLINT and shows you 
a list of clickable errors (clicking will take you to the error line).

This of course works for a lot of XML formats, the current distribution 
contains meta DTDs* for XHTML, HTML, KDE Docbook, kpartgui, kconfigxt, Kates 
highlight language and xslt.

Using the plugin with no DTD assigned is of course still providing the close 
tag and markup actions, but no autocompletion, as well as the validater will 
only check well-formed-ness without a DTD.

*) 'Meta DTD' is a processed DTD produced by the dtdparse tool, which you can 
download from CPAN or from dtdparse.sf.net. You can use the tool to produce 
new meta DTDs for any DTD of your choice.
