Dear Lex, Thanks for writing.
The reason I want my <abstract> to appear in the <articleinfo> is because, when as such, the DocBook XSL stylesheets will render the abstract *above*the table of contents in the resultant HTML. (Through research I've come to realize that DocBook 4.5 allows <abstract> to have many parent elements.) After posting my original message I continued iterating among the AsciiDOC user guide and the docbook45.conf file -- something finally ``clicked'' inside my head and I realized the proper use of the `docinfo' facility. So, what I've done is place my book's abstract into the -docinfo.xml file, which (post-XSLT) is rendered above the TOC as originally desired. Thanks for looking over my post. I was over-complicating things. But I've learned a couple things about AsciiDoc and DocBook, so it was worth it. What a great tool AsciiDoc is.
