Thank you for your response, Mike!
I'd like to encourage you to check out the DocBook Publishers schema

Please let me know if there is anything that you feel is still missing!

I'll take this opportunity to say that one of the things that seems odd to
me about DocBook is that it is targeted so explicitly at computer
documentation. Many of its tags make no sense outside that context. So we
have modified the schema not just by adding elements for linguistics and
literate programming, but by removing many of the tags that are blatantly
irrelevant. Computer documentation is the sort of thing that will, in most
cases, go out of date soon; and for that purpose, maybe Pilgrim is right
that HTML makes sense. But there are plenty of domains for which people
write books that don't go out of date (ranging from poetry to archaeology),
and for which DocBook might make more sense to people if it didn't seem so
much like a geek's view of the world. My 2/100 of a dollar...
