Confusion? With current docbook part? What semantics did you have?
Or did you mean to have 'drama' at the same docbook hiearchical level as 
part?

I'd seek advice on this one. Norm?

What are you proposing?
personae (sp?) is a needed wrapper?

Nothing at http://wiki.docbook.org/topic/PublishersMinimalElements  that 
strikes me as clear for
<cast>
<role>
<name>Othello</
<para> A right tart</
</
</

It is a bit 'peculiar' to a play Scott?


As is stage direction, for multi para content?

<para role='direction'> seems viable, but already overladen?
