Not that I'm aware of.

I've been thinking about proposing such a customization as I've been
composing the new xml-sgml-policy in DocBook XML. 

It'll probably be a couple of months until I could even propose such a
customization, as I'm still busy with the policy docs.

I think it would be useful to standardize on a debian version
(customization) of the standard schema (aka DocBook) in general use for
computing-related documentation. 

Adoption of a customization of DocBook would also mean a move away from
debiandoc-sgml, which would free up some of Ardo's time to work on the xml
infrastructure stuff.
