This looks like @cartouche in Texinfo.  The difference is that
@cartouche never has a title.  Maybe the best would be to add a title to
@cartouche instead?

I think that it would be better to render @cartouche as <sidebar> in
DocBook in any case.  Are there specific constraints on what can be
nested within a <sidebar>?

@macro + @ifdocbook + @inlineraw should work without a need for an external
script?  Thought maybe not in TeX.
