Unfortunately, the 3.1 DTD doesn't parse the following correctly:
<citetitle pubwork="journal">
here's the jade output:
/opt/src/mgd/packages/textproc/jade/bin/jade:/opt/src/alex/src/Swarm/swarm.org/biblio.xml:47:39:E: value of attribute "pubwork" cannot be "journal"; must be one of "article", "book", "chapter", "part", "refentry", "section"
make: *** [index.html] Error 1
After double checking DocBook TDG, I see that `journal' is not an
allowed attribute value for `pubwork'. Is this perhaps an oversight?
It isn't a stylesheet issue.
Of course, I can make it work by using either `section' or `book', but
that doesn't seem like an elegant way to go, it seems that `journal'
is a common enough `kind' of publication that it should have status in
the DTD. Since, you might want all journal titles to be formatted in
a certain way by the stylesheets, a common enough thing to do in the
academic world.
Anyway, just my $0.02.
