Just for kicks, how difficult would it be to refactor DocBook into
a simple core (based on Simplified DocBook, or the moral equivalent),
and implement the full DTD as multiple layers of customizations on
top of the simpler core?  Once that's done, then it's easier[*] to
consider adding more elements in the DTD: a simple core plus the
required extra layers plus a few more elements, vs. a huge core
plus a few extra elements.
Yes! I think this is a good question and an excellent way of describing a valid way of looking at the result of the work.
