Thanks Sebastian, that was the problem.  I pre-fixed all my pattern 
names with "xmp_" as a sort of pseudo-namespace and it worked.

I was suprised though that within a DocBook element I still had to 
specify the namespace.  E.g. nxml-mode requires (in the instance xml 
file)

{db:para}{db:itemizedlist} ... {/db:itemizedlist}{/db:para}

rather than

{db:para}{itemizedlist} ... {/itemizedlist}{/db:para}

Thanks also to Jirka Kosek for the pointer to the TEI/DocBook stuff, 
that was intereseting.

Cheers -Terry
