mmm... i am not aware of a solution (you might want to post this to the
docbook maillinglist: http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/mailinglist/index.html
some ideas:
1) there is an abstract element... as you pointed out, maybe that is an solution
2) maybe you can use some additional elements (in your own namespace):
<stein:select-for-presentation><para>some text</para></stein:select-for-presentation>
or maybe even more complex...
the customize the stylesheet (DSSSL or XSLT) to only print general presentation layout,
and only from the DocBook source those parts that are selected with the
<presentation:select> tag...
Anyone on the DocBook maillist seen a solution for this purpose?
