Unfortunately DocBook can't be read/edited by a human.  IMO, Docbook
is only suitable as a machine-generated intermediate format.

I'd recommend one of the lightweight markup languages like asciidoc or
reStructuredText.  They're easy to read/write, perfectly usable in the
source form and can be rendered into PDF, HTML, ODT, DocBook, whatever.
