I use website, with the following structure

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<!-- Time-stamp: "2002-06-16 18:02:15 Dave Pawson"   -->
<!DOCTYPE webpage  SYSTEM "../nw/docbook/website3/website.dtd">

<webpage navto="yes" id="dbroot">
<head>
<title>Docbook Frequently Asked Questions</title>
<summary>Docbook FAQ</summary>
   <keywords>docbook faq FAQ</keywords>
</head>

<qandaset>
<qandaentry>
    <question>
     <para></para>

    </question>
    <answer>
     <para role="author"></para>
      <literallayout format="linespecific" class="normal">

</literallayout>
    </answer>
   </qandaentry>

....


The id value is used to create the filename through the parameter settings.
Each file takes a topic containing multiple qnaentry elements wrapped in 
the qandaset.

The result is at www.dpawson.co.uk/docbook
