I tried it too. I used the sgmltools package. I gave it up because of
several reasons:

  - the package was no longer maintained because Kees de Groot got a
good job and had no
    more time for it.
  - the paper output (postscript) was, even though produced via TeX much
worse than it 
    could be,
  - the way of handling special objects like math formulas is not
compareable with TeX
  - for 10 lines of information you have to write 3-5 lines of tags. I'm
hacking very 
    quickly but this is nothing for someone who is slow in typing and
really impossible
    for wysiwig fans,
  - l2h does the same thing and the result is better. At the moment I
would reconcider 
    using DocBook when 1) the markup is more flexible and more easy to
extend and 2) if
    I have a free DocBook/SGML-Editor. On behalf of markup TeX is simply
better!
