Yes, We can only make a simple agreement。

Maybe my description is not clear.  Yes,  docbook document has many
<*info>. But we should only modify the following <*info>:

     /article/articleinfo (DocBook 4.x)
     /book/bookinfo (DocBook 4.x)
     /article/info (DocBook 5.x)
     /book/info (DocBook 5.x)

Every docbook document only has one such <*info>.
