Perhaps I am not fully understanding this problem, but I fail to see why this kind of content would *need* to be in a sidebar.
Would something like <section role="side-feature"> really be inappropriate? Take a look at the sidebar example from the Guide: <sect1> <para>Some narrative text.</para> <sidebar> <title>A Sidebar</title> <para>Sidebar content.</para> </sidebar> <para>The continuing flow of the narrative text, as if the sidebar was not present.</para> </sect1> Here, the sidebar content is understood to be outside of the narrative flow. Why would this be conceptually different on a larger scale... <section> <para>Some narrative text.</para> <para> Some more narrative text.</para> </section> <section role="side-feature"> <para>Text outside of narrative flow.</para> <para>More text outside of narrative flow.</para> </section> <section> <para>The continuing flow of the narrative text, as if the sidebar was not present.</para> </section> ...? Then, put [EMAIL PROTECTED]'side-feature'] in a block-container or something and position it as you please. Maybe I'm still misunderstanding, though.

Perhaps this sort of content would be a good thing to discuss at the DocBook SubCommittee for Publishers....
