Or use an editor that removes the need to interact with the verbosity. 
The lack of contraction features is one reason that XML has proliferated 
in a way that SGML never did. It makes it *much* easier to write an XML 
parser, and also makes the parsing much faster. A worthwhile tradeoff.

Have you tried docbookide (emacs mode) or XMLMind (commercial, but with 
a free version)? These allow you to work with DocBook format in a 
relatively non-cumbersome way?
