You should add the Publisher from Arbortext to the list of SGML-based
tools.  They have been using SGML from the start -- not just adding it
now.  It uses TeX as a formatting engine and includes filters to
convert between SGML and LaTeX.  It is available for Sun, HP, Appollo,
and possibly other platforms by now.

We have had Publisher since it was released & have been quite happy
with it.
