Edit: Emacs.
Validate: Jing
to  PDF: One of the two commercial XSL-FO tools, Antenna House  or XEP
RTF: Steve? I can't find it (GIYF)
PS: Don't know.
HTML: Standard Docbook transforms.

You might want to shift from the DTD's to relax ng, then use the namespaced
version.

xsltproc might work, but I have bash shell scripts for all my conversions.

I expand my includes using the resolver.jar file?

ava   -cp /sgml:/myjava/saxon655.jar:/myjava/xercesImpl.jar:/myjava/resolver.jar
 -Djavax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory=org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl
    -Djavax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory=org.apache.xerces.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl
    -Dorg.apache.xerces.xni.parser.XMLParserConfiguration=org.apache.xerces.parsers.XIncludeParserConfiguration
com.icl.saxon.StyleSheet   -o op.html   -w1 <input>.xml
docbook.html.xsl  "saxon.extensions=1"  $4 $5 $6
