Having investigated, Lyx turns out not to be at fault.  Here are some 
problems I have had with DocBook and sgmltools:

&ldquo and &lsqb: when sgmltools renders the sgml to text, rtf or ps 
these work properly but in html output they appear in full instead of 
" and [.

&tilde:  Is this valid in DocBook?  It comes out wrong in all the 
formats.

If I'm not doing something wrong (most likely) then is it a DocBook or 
sgmltools error?
