Incorrect.  In 'unstable' we have the newest docbook-xml package
available.  It no longer includes sdocbk (simplified Docbook XML) but I'm
getting around to that.

It's easy to run 2.2 but load a few packages here and there from woody.

What tools?  Debian includes jade, openjade (woody), sp,
docbook-stylesheets, jadetex, etc etc, everything you should need, or let
us know if not.

Try installing the task-sgml package, it will grab the standard baseline
stuff for SGML/XML editors.
