Requirements 2–4 appear to need MediaWiki to know the concept of multiple pages
which make a single thing (a book). Either you trim the requirements down, or
the functionality greatly overlaps with book manager.
It's not clear from your goals in comment 3 what makes those requirements
required.

What's the relationship?

Import and export from and to what formats?

Can this need be satisfied by keeping the entire book in a single page?

Unless there are libraries to convert from DocBook to HTML5 and back, this
sounds like a very bad idea. (I doubt such a thing may exist.)

I don't understand if you're trying to say this bug is also/mainly about making
a WYSIWYG editor for DocBook; in that case, it would be useful to say it
clearly.

At any rate, it's important to look at what publishers with experience in using
DocBook as their master format are doing.  The most developed example in Italy
(and EU?) is Il Mulino; AFAICS, they always keep DocBook as their underlying
format (because you can get perfect PDF, ePUB and any future format from it)
and then have some HTML5 on top of it. Some research is needed.
