Very nice, especially the reference guide. I especially like
the way you`ve organized the tags by related function... maybe
the DocBook folks will pick up on that (hint hint, subtle as a
sledgehammer ;-). I`ll probably not get a chance to start studying
it until this weekend, but it looks like the catalyst I`ve
been waiting for to get started.

Dave Pawson put together a nice DocBook quick reference a while back,
with the elements all listed in logical groupings. A PDF version
(courtesy of Jeff Beal) is at:
http://www.twistedcranium.com/~jbbeal/professional/docbookref.pdf
Note that all the element names are hyperlinks to the corresponding
pages in the current online version of DocBook: The Definitive Guide.
Dave`s also go an HTML version:
http://www.dpawson.co.uk/docbook/qrefhtml.html
And the DocBook XML source for all of it is at:
http://www.dpawson.co.uk/docbook/qreflinked.xml
..though there`s a syntax error in the internal subset; I`m sure Dave
will get it fixed right away, but in case you download the file before
he fixes it, you can fix it locally - just change it to:
<!DOCTYPE section PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.2//EN"
"/sgml/oasis/docbook412/docbookx.dtd"
[
<!ENTITY tdgHome "http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/">
]

The XSLT stylesheet that Jeff put together for tranforming that to
FO/PDF is at:

The DTDs are split up into modules along the same boundaries - so you can
easily create a shell DTD that includes the information type and domains
you want, simply by pointing to the modules and redefining a few entities
(see any of the existing .dtd files for examples). That also lets you
integrate existing modules with additional specialized modules you develop
(adding markup for pharmaceutical docs, for example, or info types for
proposals). The resulting content (using a mix of core and specialized
markup) can still be transformed with the base output transforms, or those
can be extended as well, following exactly the same module structure.
The main point being that we`ve really tried to drive the semantic
groupings all the way through the architecture - it`s not just the docs,
it`s the way the whole architecture is organized, including DTDs, schemas,
XSLT, and CSS.
