The bibliography stuff is a bit of a mess. It was originally cribbed from the Majour[1] standard in the very early 90’s, I believe, on the assumption that reuse was better than reinvention. I’m not sure what happened to Majour after that.
I think it got dropped on the floor. But it influenced lots of bib DTDs.
There’s *A LOT* of variation in how citations are published.
And a lot of hypercritical readers who will find that misplaced comma :-)
<biblioentry> <citetitle pubwork="book">DocBook: The Definitive Guide</citetitle>
That's a nice idea.
I think the title in a bibliography entry is more semantically a title citation than a title, so that’s my preference anyway. (In DocBook, a <title> is usually the the title of a thing, and that’s not what is going on in a bibliography.)
Not sure about that. If the entry is for a book, the title element probably need to be the title of the book, not the title of something else.
