Rich,
I've never used Lyx or Latex, but the free "Standard" edition of
XMLmind XML Editor (XXE) supports WYSIWYG editing of DocBook documents.
For transformation to deliverable formats, you're stuck with the
open-source tools that are out there (and their inherent limitations),
but as a standalone DocBook authoring environment XXE is fantastic.
Hope this helps!
