Yes, it is indeed DocBook 5; and it is strange. However I get very
similar messages from Xerces-J and xmllint, so I think it must be my bug:

Java_Course_Notes.xml:32916: element imagedata: validity error : Element
imagedata content does not follow the DTD, expecting (info? , EMPTY), got
mageobject><imagedata fileref='awt.gif' width='107px'
depth='140px'></imagedata>

[Error] Java_Course_Notes.xml:32916:201: The content of element type
"imagedata" is incomplete, it must match "(info?,EMPTY)".

One thing I considered based on the error message was whether it could
possibly expect an element named EMPTY. But I can't see that in the DTD.
I even tried that, but as expected it wasn't valid. Adding an empty info
element didn't fix it either.

I'm sure there must be some crucial mistake, but so far I can't find it.
  I guess the next step is to boil my 500 page document down to a simple
test case.
