That sounds like what TEI is intended for. Is there a reason you
decided to use DocBook instead of TEI?
These documents are mostly census reports and tabulations and
contain large numbers of complex tables, charts, maps, tables
of contents in a rigid heirarchy of sections, parts, divisions,
publications etc. So far there's relatively little "free"
text other than some opening paragraphs in each volume.
DocBook seemed to be a better semantic match for this kind of
document, although I'm happy to be persuaded otherwise.
Some of these publications have paragraphs with notes printed
next to them in the margin in much smaller type.

The annotation element and annotations attribute:
http://www.docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/annotation.html
http://www.docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/ref-elements.html#db.cmn.annotations
You can associate an annotation with a particular element either
by putting an "annotations" attribute on the element, with its value
set to the xml:id value of the annotation; or you can do it by
putting an "annotates" attribute on the annotation, with its value
set to the xml:id of the element it annotates.
That's very useful -- thanks!
