So it looks like it's going to be callouts for now.

I'm quite amazed at how easy it was to get DocBook to work for me and I
really don't want to spend too much time experimenting.  

But I won't forget..  I will keep an eye open for this type of solution.
If it's doable someone with the right motivation is bound to come up
with an elegant solution at some point or other.
