1. This is allowed in DocBook 4.4/4.5
(/trunk/testdocs/tests/cmdsynopsis.002.xml):

<glossterm>
  <cmdsynopsis>
    <command>command</command>
      <arg choice="req">req</arg>
      <arg choice="req" rep="repeat">repeatandreq</arg>
      <arg rep="repeat">repeat</arg>
      <arg>optional</arg>
   </cmdsynopsis>
</glossterm>
 
2. This is also allowed in DocBook 4.4/4.5
(/trunk/testdocs/tests/variablelist.002.xml):

<term>
 <methodsynopsis>
  <modifier>static</modifier>
  <modifier>public</modifier>
  <type>void</type>
  <methodname>import</methodname>
   <methodparam>
    <type>HttpServletRequest</type>
    <parameter>req</parameter>
   </methodparam>
 </methodsynopsis>
</term>


Both 1. and 2. are disallowed in DocBook 5.0CR5.

Yes, there should be a template converting discarded toc*/lot* elements to
tocdiv in db4-upgrade.xsl.

The original ToC file is /trunk/testdocs/tests/toc.001.xml in the
repository.
