| Is there any way to generate change bars from a DocBook document? If
| not, is there any intention of adding this functionality?
Yes, it can be done either by hand or semi-automatically.
You can use the revisionflag attribute to track changes. If you have
two versions of the document, you can use diffmk
(http://www.sun.com/xml/developers/diffmk/) to automatically add the
revisionflags.
Then process the document with changebars.xsl and you'll get something
like change bars (http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xml-20001006-review.html).
Be seeing you,

P.S. I have a java version of diffmk that is in some ways better than
the perl version. I'm working on getting it released.
