Hi Scott,
Another approach might be to use the new annotations feature in DocBook
5.0. You could create a system of annotations to indicate which sections
are intended for sidebars, and the stylesheet could respond to that. The
annotations would indicate that certain sections are not part of the main
flow. That would be similar to using a role attribute, but might be a bit
more flexible.
I'm curious about how you intend to handle the table of contents. Would
these sidebar sections be excluded? Would the sidebar be included in the
TOC?

Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] section in sidebar?
Hi David,
I thought of that, but I've seen several cases of nested sections (2
levels deep), so I think I still need a way to add section to sidebar...
Best regards,

Scott,
I haven't been reading this thread so I don't know all the context, but
seeing this para I wonder if using bridgeheads in the sidebar could work
for you. You don't get true, contained subsections, but the visual
effect would be what you want with no need to tweak the dtd or xslts.
