My thought was that the /rpm-info/release value would represent the
RPM packaging release cycle.  The <revision> components of the
<changelog> would generate both the RPM %changelog and the DocBook
revision log.

Hm.. would a "role='rpm'" attribute on the <changelog>/<revision>
element suffice?  I could then just skip that entry when building the
DocBook history.

Neither am I, but if you can help get the prototype SPEC, OMF, et.
al., files right I think I can mangle the XSLT stuff enough to get
by.
