Excerpt from 0docbook5.xxe using defining the button using those templates:
<toolBar>
<insert />
<separator />

<button toolTip="Add foo" icon="foo.png">
<menu>
<item label="Foo"
command="insert"
parameter="into
#template({http://docbook.org/ns/docbook}replaceable,
foo)" />
...
</toolBar>
But the "Foo" item is always grayed out.
I'm really puzzled, I do not know what's going on.
I've added what follows to the stock docbook5_support_base.incl in an
attempt to reproduce what you did (by the way, a short 0docbook5.xxe
allowing to easily reproduce the bug would have been very nice):
---
<elementTemplate name="foo">
<replaceable xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook"; role="???" />
</elementTemplate>
<toolBar>
<button toolTip="Foo"
icon="xxe-config:common/icons/italic.png">
<command name="insert"
parameter="into
#template({http://docbook.org/ns/docbook}replaceable,foo)" />
</button>
---
and it works fine.
If I change it to what follows, then the "Foo" button is always grayed:
---
...
parameter="into
#template({http://docbook.org/ns/docbook}replaceable, foo)" />
---
The sole difference is a space character after "," between
"{http://docbook.org/ns/docbook}replaceable";, the name of the element
and "foo", the name of the template.
The documentation says:
---
Note that whitespace is not allowed inside the #template() construct.
That is, "#template( figure, image )" will not work while
"#template(figure,image)" will work.

See
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/commands/commandref.html#argumentnode
This restriction about whitespace seems to be a common pitfall. We'll
*try* (no promise) to remove it in the next release.

PS: May be you should add selectable="false" to most your
elementTemplates to avoid polluting the list displayed by the Edit tool.
