It appears that the DocBook stylesheets have not implemented this feature
yet. It has come up before, but I looked on the SourceForge bug list and
feature requests list, and I don't see it. That would at least get it into
the queue to get fixed.
In FO output, it could be done by putting the content into a
fo:block-container of the specified width, while with HTML output it would
probably require a table cell of a fixed width.

Subject: [docbook-apps] screen's width attribute has no effect
Hello All,
A <screen> takes up the entire width of a page regardless of
the value of width. I am using DocBook 5.0, DocBook XSL NS 1.74.0,
xsltproc and fop-0.94 svn 661170 (May 28, 2008).
