DocBook currently has different info wrappers for metadata at (most) different levels: ArticleInfo, BookInfo, ChapterInfo, Sect1Info, etc.
The original motivation for this scheme was to allow customizers to change metadata on an element-by-element basis. An organization might decide to simplify section-level metadata so that, for example, ISBN numbers were not allowed. Occasionally, users suggest that it would be simpler and better if there was just one <info> element. What do you think? Has anyone out there ever actually customized the info wrappers so that the were different in different contexts?
