docbook-apps

Hello, I'm trying to work out precisely what would be required in
extending the DocBook DTD in order to produce a significant amount of
coursework.

As part of this, I want to mark up a curriculum/schedule. This would
be comprised largely of block elements, such as the following
structure indicates.

schedule
week*
lecture*
title
presenter?
topics?
topic+
para etc.
themes?
theme+
para etc.
laboratory*
title
marks?
topics?
topic+
para etc.
tutorial*
title
marks?
readings?
reading+
para etc. (needs work to profile book editions)

I have a rough idea of what I need to do to create a customisation
layer for the DTD, but none of the books I've consulted (including
Docbook XSL) mention anything (that I could find at least) about the
correct way to make a stylesheet extension.

Any tips? Or have I managed to miss something completely obvious?

There is probably a different XML schema that already records coursework.

In other news, it would certainly help if either the "other
industries" or "Schemas/DTDs" navigation links on http://xml.org/ were
operational right now.

Also, I am offended (well, maybe I have no right to be offended) that
DocBook isn't on the top left navigation link area of xml.org.
