Re: DOCBOOK: Literary DTDs

You can try http://www.tei-c.org.  The Text Encoding Initiative has a huge 
number of constructs (though perhaps they're still only in SGML) for 
literary works.  The original purpose wasn't so much for authoring, but 
rather for analysis of existing materials; however, I bet they'd work.
