I like idea of your tool as general. But one thing is quite unclear for
me. Was it really necessary to modify DTD? I think that you can use xref
or citation elements instead of jref:cite and empty bibliography element
instead of jref:reflist. Style of citation could be driven by some
external parameter or processing instruction. Many people want some tool
like BibTeX for their DocBook bibliographies but I don't think they want
to use customized DTD for this purpose if it seems that stock DocBook
offer all necessary markup. But might be I'm missing something.
