>I was wondering whether there are DTD's that include
a canonical pattern element, and whether DocBook could
include this?
There may be such DTDs, but the patterns described in the
reference,
http://hillside.net/patterns/Writing/patterns.html
are not concrete, and the "elements" described are not
mappable directly to document markup.
Given a specific use of such patterns, one might construct
a resuable transform to Docbook. But Docbook itself does not
employ abstractions of this nature.
