One could make use of "imenu" and/or "speedbar". imenu and
speedbar are parts of Emacs 21 and 22, AFAIK. Try this:

(require 'imenu)
(require 'speedbar)
(defvar dbk-imenu-generic-expression nil
  "Imenu generic expression for DocBook.  See `imenu-generic-expression'.")
(add-hook 'nxml-mode-hook
	  (lambda ()
	    (speedbar-add-supported-extension ".dbk")
	    (setq dbk-imenu-generic-expression
		  '((nil
		     "^[ \t]*<title>\\(.*\\)</title>"
		     1)))
	    (setq imenu-generic-expression dbk-imenu-generic-expression
		  imenu-case-fold-search nil)
	    (imenu-add-to-menubar "DocBook")))

Now call M-x speedbar, when you are in nxml-mode. It does not
really reflect the document structure, but maybe it helps a bit
to see all titles in the right order. speedbar lets you jump to
the right place, as does the menu "DocBook".
