Therefore we consider that what we do is OK.
No problem, as long as the realized document can be converted, we are good; we didn't know this was explicitly allowed by the DocBook assembly specification, but it makes sense.

This is explicitly allowed by the DocBook assembly specification. Excerpts of http://tdg.docbook.org/tdg/5.1/ch06.html#structures --- It is important to observe that the realized structure is often, but not necessarily, a valid DocBook document. What is important is not it's validity from an authoring perspective, but rather it's validity with respect to what the downstream processor is expecting. --- The realized document does not have to be a valid, self-contained, DocBook 5.1 document. Suffice for it to be convertible to other formats by the DocBook XSL stylesheets. In other words, the realized document must not be considered to be a source DocBook 5.1 document but just a temporary, intermediate file. The DocBook XSL stylesheets have no problems whatsoever with our translation of <relationships> in the realized document. Therefore we consider that what we do is OK.
