Here's one way to do it:

<book status="draft">
  <bookinfo>
    <keywordset>
      <keyword>foo</keyword>
      <keyword>bar</keyword>
    </keywordset>
    <title>The Etymology of Foo and Bar</title>
    <author>
      <firstname>George</firstname>
      <surname>Costanza</surname>
      <email>george example com</email>
    </author>

You can place it directly inside element address:

http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/

http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/email.html

http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/address.html

address ::=
(#PCDATA|personname|honorific|firstname|surname|lineage|othername|
 affiliation|authorblurb|contrib|street|pob|postcode|city|state|
 country|phone|fax|email|otheraddr)*


You can also place it directly inside lots of other elements, it's an
inline element:

These elements contain email: action, address, application,
attribution, author, bibliomisc, bridgehead, citation, citetitle,

I don't think such elements exist (didn't check thoroughly though). I
would find a "home page URL" element a useful addition to the content
model of element address, author, (etc); eg element "homepage", or
something like

  <website type="private">...
                 work

And perhaps people also would find <im type="icq">12345... useful;

you could write RFEs for both features [1].
