That's phrased in the negative Bob? Might be clear and easier to use
as a policy if phrased positively?

Users may add elements and attributes to the db schema but be aware
that these are not docbook.
Docbook is defined as those elements and attributes in the docbook namespace
which are defined by the docbook TC.
