What do you mean by export-special?
Well the latest org comes with a contributed org-special-blocks.el
[sorry I misnamed it]
Do you mean exporting blocks that look like the following lines?
#+begin_xyz
...
#+end_xyz
Yes I guess that would be what I want.
Thanks for the confirmation, Rustom. Carsten and I had several email
exchanges on this topic last month, and we decided to not support
such
special blocks in DocBook exporter (see the following email).
Can you use #+BEGIN_DOCBOOK ... #+END_DOCBOOK instead to achieve what
you want?
Thanks,
Baoqiu
Well something would be better than nothing :-)
My own view: latex and html are very different from docbook.
1. latex and html are specific presentation formats as against docbook
which is a general content format
2. Conversely no one wants to use docbook for itself but rather as a
stepping stone to something else -- typically pdf/html but in
principle any arbitrary 'end'-format. This means that
docbook-exporter allowing for potential docbook errors is a smaller
problem than making impossible something which
a. can be/is already available in org
b. is supported in the 'end'-format
c. but is unavailable in the interim (docbook)
One such thing which may not be meaningful in latex and html but is a
lack in docbook is property exports.
This, I think, was the reason why we could not see a good way to do
this in docbook.

Maybe if you or Carsten feel this should not go into org then
org-special-blocks is the place for it?
I think you need to come up with a concrete implementation proposal.
