There is LyX.  LyX has an SGML mode.  I kinda like LyX.  I wish it converted
chapters to sections though.  I use LyX to write a story, and I convert the
format from 'book' to 'linuxdoc' so I can convert the SGML to HTML for the
web.  Comes out nicely, but some tags have to be converted by hand :(

LyX makes a quite nice SGML editor.
