Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] Storing data within Docbook?

Jirka's suggestion is the best approach. It gives you all the flexiblity 
in the world with no extra work. Here's how it might look:

...
          <tr>
            <td>
              <para>
                <info>
                <vadim:metadata xmlns:vadim="http://somedomain-you-own/some-namespace-you-makeup">
                  <vadim:somefield>somedata</vadim:somefield>
                </vadim:metadata>
                </info>
              Ipsum lorem. Stuff readers see goes here.
              </para>
            </td>
...

DocBook's info element and its contents are already ignored by the xslts. 
You can encode your data in xml as complex as it needs to be in a namespace 
of your invention. Here's another way of doing it if you don't like namespace prefixes:

          <tr>
            <td>
              <para>
                <info>
                <metadata xmlns="http://somedomain-you-own/some-namespace-you-makeup">
                  <somefield>somedata</somefield>
                </metadata>
                </info>
              Ipsum lorem. Stuff readers see goes here.
              </para>
            </td>

I'm having difficulty embedding elements of the XHTML namespace within my metadata. It seems that with either of the approaches above, I cannot use the elements in the XHTML namespace - but any other namespace works. Quite strange. Here's an annotated snippet:

   <informaltable>
      <info>
          [...]
               <requirement name="Person identifier"
                  number="[...]"
                  ea-id="[...]">
                  <detail>
                     <div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml-not-really"> <!-- works -->
                        <p style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans'; text-align: left">The document SHALL contain the individual's [...].</p>
                     </div>
                  </detail>
                  <rationale>
                     <babbah:div xmlns="http://www.omg.org/spec/ReqIF/20110401/reqif.xsd"
                        xmlns:configuration="http://eclipse.org/rmf/pror/toolextensions/1.0"
                        xmlns:headline="http://pror.org/presentation/headline"
                        xmlns:rtf="http://pror.org/presentation/rtf"> <!-- works -->
                        <babbah:div style="text-align: left;">Allows interoperability. Eliminates ambiguity. [...]</babbah:div>
                     </babbah:div>
                  </rationale>
               </requirement>
               <requirement name="Person name"
                  number="[...]"
                  ea-id="[...]">
                  <detail>
                     <xhtml:div xmlns="http://www.omg.org/spec/ReqIF/20110401/reqif.xsd"
                        xmlns:configuration="http://eclipse.org/rmf/pror/toolextensions/1.0"
                        xmlns:headline="http://pror.org/presentation/headline"
                        xmlns:rtf="http://pror.org/presentation/rtf"> <!-- does not work: E [Jing] element "xhtml:div" not allowed anywhere; expected the element end-tag or text -->
                        <xhtml:p style="font-family: 'Lucida Sans'; text-align: left">The document SHALL contain the given (where applicable) and family name of the person the document relates to.</xhtml:p>
                     </xhtml:div>
                  </detail>

Why would the DocBook 5 (http://docbook.org/ns/docbook) schema be disallowing xhtml specifically and/or what is the error?

David

This sounds really interesting and viable, the second being the
profiling of the role attribute (which I'd like to avoid if I can due to
good advice given here
<http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/ProfilingWithRole.html>). However it
seems the schema doesn't allow adding other elements, even from other
namespaces? Adding an an <extradata:info> to a <row> (the ideal
situation; easiest to deal with then when working with XSLT on it!)
gives a validation error: E [Jing] element "extradata:info" not allowed
here; expected element "entry" or "entrytbl"

I'm transforming some data from an XML format into a Docbook table - but not all of the data in the XML is to be displayed in Docbook. I would, however, like to store it in my Docbook XML - because future transformations would like to read my Docbook XML and they'd need all of the data that went into it. I'd rather not introduce a secondary file for storing the extra data - this would bring complications and fragility.
The easiest way to do this is to add <info> element to the table and put
you raw XML data there -- they just must be in different namespace then
DocBook in order to validate.
