Mike,

The website dtd and stylesheets can do somehting similar to what
you're asking, and without frames.

What's needed though, (and I've been meaning to do this...) are
stylesheets that'll convert docs marked up in full DocBook XML to the
Website DTD. Since there is no unique mapping from DB to WS (website
has no book or chapter -- only a website, webpages, and sections.), I
haven't gotten around to writing anything that has general utility.

Anyway, take a look at the new website release at the sourceforge
site:

 http://sourceforge.net/projects/docbook/

For a glimpse at some hacks/demos I made to illustrate navigation icon
stylesheet tweaks, see this page:

You'll get the idea. 

Cheers,
Mark
