I use ispell...
It handles the elements very well. I use it inside Emacs.
It is also useful for SGML.

But it would be interesting to have ispell checking the documentation
of aspell... :o)))

Oh... That's why you suffer a little. Not starting a war, but Emacs
has a lot of facilities to handle both SGML and XML. And these work
very fine with DocBook.

Not special elements, but you can use simplified DocBook.
