Many books have content at the start of chapters (and some sections)

to be able to mark that up so that it is visually distinct for the reader.
I think <abstract> is the appropriate tag for this use-case but it is
formatted in publican as standard text and it always provides the title
of *Abstract* at the top.
This is DocBook XSL behavior, not publican specific.
<abstract> can include the child tag
of <title> but it is currently ignored.
Any issues with having <abstract> <para> formatted as in a slightly more
distinct fashion (slightly bigger or perhaps different font or bold?)
and making the use of <title> within abstract explicit (if you don't
supply it then it has no title) ?

Or is there another tag that fits the bill ?
This would also mean that <title>Abstract</title> would have to be
inserted into the abstract in the book templates & people would have to
update that on their existing books.
All 700+ of them if you include translations.
I think:
1: Your example implies a poor chapter/section name
2: Highlight seems more widely usable [1]
Cheers, Jeff.
