You can designate which object is used for each output by using a role
attribute. Put role="html" on the videoobject, and role="fo" on the
textobject. See http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/GraphicSelection.html
for details.

I don't know.

The DTD declares them in the dbnotnx.mod file.

Not me. 8^)
