Brilliant - thanks, I'll go with the first approach. It seems to be most compatible, causes least headaches and easiest to work with in an XSLT.

Jirka's suggestion is the best approach. It gives you all the flexiblity
in the world with no extra work. Here's how it might look:
...
<para>
<info>
<vadim:metadata xmlns:vadim="http://somedomain-you-own/some-namespace-you-makeup"<http://somedomain-you-own/some-namespace-you-makeup>>
<vadim:somefield>somedata</vadim:somefield>
</vadim:metadata>
</info>
Ipsum lorem. Stuff readers see goes here.
</para>
...
DocBook's info element and its contents are already ignored by the xslts.
You can encode your data in xml as complex as it needs to be in a namespace
of your invention. Here's another way of doing it if you don't like namespace prefixes:
<para>
<info>
<metadata xmlns="http://somedomain-you-own/some-namespace-you-makeup"<http://somedomain-you-own/some-namespace-you-makeup>>
<somefield>somedata</somefield>
</metadata>
</info>
Ipsum lorem. Stuff readers see goes here.
</para>

This sounds really interesting and viable, the second being the
profiling of the role attribute (which I'd like to avoid if I can due to
good advice given here
<http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/ProfilingWithRole.html><http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/ProfilingWithRole.html>). However it
seems the schema doesn't allow adding other elements, even from other
namespaces? Adding an an <extradata:info> to a <row> (the ideal
situation; easiest to deal with then when working with XSLT on it!)
gives a validation error: E [Jing] element "extradata:info" not allowed
here; expected element "entry" or "entrytbl"

I'm transforming some data from an XML format into a Docbook table - but not all of the data in the XML is to be displayed in Docbook. I would, however, like to store it in my Docbook XML - because future transformations would like to read my Docbook XML and they'd need all of the data that went into it. I'd rather not introduce a secondary file for storing the extra data - this would bring complications and fragility.
The easiest way to do this is to add <info> element to the table and put
you raw XML data there -- they just must be in different namespace then
DocBook in order to validate.
