Title: RE: DOCBOOK-APPS: Newbie Question about Bibliomixed Entry

Thanks! It never occurred to me that you would split a "single" bibliographic entry between two <bibliomset> elements. I see now that I was reading the structure wrong. From your answer I infer that a single <bibliomixed> is roughly equivalent to a <biblioentry>.

I was reading <bibliomset> as  equivalent to <biblioentry> before.

In this case these attributes are used to distinguish between name of
article (paper) and name of journal in which article was published.

role="article" can be used by stylesheet to render article title
differently than other titles in bibliography.
