Highlighting new contents

[Stefan Hinz <stefan.hinz@oracle.com>]

We're in the process of rewriting documentation for a software product. 
We'll be copying over existing docs from the previous product version, 
but many of the contents will be written from scratch.

To make it easy for internal reviewers (mostly the devs) to distinguish 
new from old, we'd like to highlight the new stuff, for example as text 
in red. Target format is just XHTML, and "new stuff" would just be 
block-level elements (sections, paras mostly).

I was thinking of adding a role attribute to the block level elements 
that contain new stuff, and then processing it so that it comes out as 
red text or in some other distinguishable way:

<section role="new">, <para role="new">, etc.

But I was wondering if there's a better way of doing this, for example 
with a <new>...</new> wrapper that I happened to miss in the list of 
available tags on http://docbook.org/tdg/en/html/docbook.html. :-)
