Guiseppe and I had a conversation about this a while back (sorry Guiseppe, I got busy and never got it fully working) and it looks like a bit of work. You need a reader that can resolve external entities (out of the box, only the validating reader does this), but then I recall that Guiseppe's specific problem brought up more issues (maybe a custom XmlResolver? I'll have to go back and find the old emails to remember where we left it off).

Ian,
The problem is that NAnt uses a not-validating XML reader
(see StyleTask.cs at line 240), while DocBook requires a
validating XML reader. As already discussed, the idea would
be to add a new property to the <style> task
(e.g. validate="true") and let NAnt validate XML documents
using the XMLValidatingReader class.
Gius_.
