I'm using DocBook 5 with the RELAX RG schema, which I found much
easier to use than the DTD.
I'm sure that someone can point you to some real documentation, but
basically I did this:
Created a transitive_docbook5.rng file containing this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<grammar xmlns:db="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook";
ns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook";
xmlns="http://relaxng.org/ns/structure/1.0";>
<include href="docbook.rng"/>
<define name = "dbx.longproductcode">
<element name = "longproductcode"><empty/></element>
</define>
<define name="db.ubiq.inlines" combine="choice">
<ref name="dbx.longproductcode"/>
</define>
</grammar>
This is basically saying:
"I'm a grammar that includes everything in docbook.rng"
"And there's an element called 'longproductcode', which must be empty"
"And the 'longproductcode' element can appear anywhere that the
'db.ubiq.inlines' set can"
(the 'db.ubiq.inlines' set in the RNG schema includes elements like
<remark> and <superscript>, and as a result, you'll be able to use
your new tag pretty much anywhere).
I use XMLMind as my text editor, and by pointing it at my new schema,
it now shows the <longproductcode> as available for insertion in all
the appropriate places.
I'm sure that there's something equivalent that you can do for the
DocBook 4 DTD.

That sounds good, We want to use a comfortable editor too.
Isn't there documentation on how to modify the DTD on sagehill?
Or How did you do that?

Yes, that would also seem to work (although I'm not sure how to write
an XSLT template for it). The reason I added my own tags was so that
they appeared in the list of elements in the GUI, so that users could
easily see which ones were available.

This sounds tempting. I'm using docbook 4.
I guess I have to adapt the DTD then, so the editor (Serna) doesn't
complain.
I think that better is not to modify DocBook schema (DTD) for such
purposes. Instead of <ProductName/> you can use
<phrase>ProductName</phrase> or <phrase role="ProductName"/>, ie.
leveraging existing DocBook element.
