I don't know much about SGML or XML but from:

"20 Questions on XML"
http://builder.com/Authoring/Xml20/index.html

it seems that XML is more web oriented:

"...However, XML is less complex than SGML, and 
it's designed to work across a limited-bandwidth 
network such as the Internet. " ...
"Unlike HTML and XML, SGML will probably never gain 
widespread acceptance on the Internet, simply because 
it was never designed or optimized for the demands of 
a network protocol. For high-end, highly structured 
publishing applications, SGML will continue to fit the bill. ..."

Is there a version of Docbook that is XML?

I am "speaking" with little SGML and XML experience
but I'm willing to learn...
