abstract for each chapter? bio page for authors to anthology?

Thanks. By the way, I noticed that in version 5.0 authorblurb was
changed to <personblurb>

Re: my question about  chapter summary/abstract: I see info -->
annotations as a solution. However, it looks like annotations are not
processed by default. I need them to appear at the top of each chapter
and also on a separate  chaptersummarytable.html

Bob Staynton provides an example of how to write an xsl customization
for annotation to process them. But I'm not sure it is applicable to
my case.

In particular, I'm curious about the annotations in the sample code
and what I'd want to use.
<chapter>
<info>
<annotation annotates="intro" role="instructor.note"> This is an
annotation</annotation>
</info>
<para xml:id="intro">This chapter introduces ...


Every chapter is going to have a chaptersummary, so would I say
role="chaptersummary"? (annotates seems to be to a specific unique id,
but that wouldn't work because each chapter would need to have a
unique ID).

I need annotations to be printed in two different places:
  1. as a formatted paragraph at the top of the  chapter when processed.
  2. as a separate page/html file consisting of a 2 column chart
(chaptertitle, annotation.chaptersummary).

I haven't made an XSL template yet (this is my first time), but 2)
seems to be pretty straightforward. I'm not so sure about 1).  I'm
using an custom.xsl as a customization layer for the docbook xsl which
contains custom parameter values. First line is this:
   <xsl:import
href="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/epub/docbook.xsl"/>

I assume I need to do something like <xsl:template match="annotation"
where the role = chaptersummary. But how would you make make this
chaptersummary paragraph appear in the chunked html output? I'm
stumped .  What would I need to do: use a different import statement
on my custom.xsl than what I already have? Or would I need to go into
the relevant .xsl file and insert the xsl: template match in the
appropriate context in the file?

Thanks.
