You could start with some customisations for running headers and footers:

I hope that this is common enough scenario and that there is Docbook
markup or best practice that I am simply unaware of to capture
'running heads' - that is recurring words, phrases, images, generally
'themes' that, in printed output usually appear somewhere at the top
or with a different bacground and typically span the whole section or
a chapter or a para.
Some examples of this would be:
in a book about environment, every few pages there is a section, each
time with a different title, but with a recurring theme called "Human
Impact"
You could store the theme in the info with the title, for example in
bibliomisc. With a role if need be.
another example:
in a DIY book there is a "PRO Tip" every now and then
And those get rendered in the running head? Well, a pro tip sounds
like a tip to me, perhaps with a role.
I don't want to too prescriptive about the rendering, but typically
such text gets rendered somewhere, in addition to a title or instead
of a title if there isn't one.
I think what I am looking for is something similar to subtitle element
that could be applied to pretty much any block element, be it para or
a chapter and also something that, ideally gets picked up the the Open
Toolkit.
I am open to suggestions, including ones that require modifying the
schema as we are already using a modified Publishers SC schema.
I don't think the stylesheets currently do anything with running heads
except perhaps chapter titles.
Be seeing you,
