Well, to begin with you are trying to override a rule named "extension",
but there is no such rule in mods.rnc, so you have to refactor it so
you have such a rule.  While you're at it, how about removing all
that "notAllowed | foo" cruft in favor of just "foo"?

Your other problem is fundamental: you are importing the definition of
start from two different places, and you can't override both of them at
the same time.  This is a deficiency in RNG: the obvious workaround is
to remove the start definition from biblio-notes.rnc.

(Committee members, perhaps there needs to be a way to delete a rule at
include time?)

This gets a 404.
