Hi Cameron,
Maybe I'm missing something myself, but I'm not
clear on how DocBook is helping you much here. I see very little usage of
DocBook elements in your documents. I understand that you might want to
use the DocBook stylesheets because they are pretty versatile, but you may have
more customization to do than if you just wrote XSL templates from scratch for
your purposes. You could always borrow some DocBook templates for the
lower level elements like para and such.

Subject: [docbook-apps] Extending XSL
stylesheets to match extended DTD
Hello, I'm trying to work out precisely what would be required
in extending the DocBook DTD in order to produce a significant amount of
coursework.
As part of this, I want to mark up a curriculum/schedule. This would be
comprised largely of block elements, such as the following structure
indicates.
schedule
week*
lecture*
title
presenter?
topics?
topic+
para
etc.
themes?
theme+
para
etc.
laboratory*
title
marks?
topics?
topic+
para
etc.
tutorial*
title
marks?
readings?
reading+
para etc. (needs work to profile
book editions)
I have a rough idea of what I need to do to create a customisation layer
for the DTD, but none of the books I've consulted (including Docbook XSL)
mention anything (that I could find at least) about the correct way to make a
stylesheet extension.
Any tips? Or have I managed to miss something completely obvious?
