I'm sorry, but I don't understand. 

Please provide a concrete example of what you are trying to
accomplish. How
is "navigation between various documents" supposed
to work? What do you mean
by "generating the navigation elements and having them
placed directly in
the docbook"?

It seems that my question was confusing. Below is a more
detailed
explanation.

I am not using chunk generation. Instead I have a Java tool
taking
information from Java and XML code and generating (through
Java Velocity
template engine) XML (docbook) files. Each file is a
separate 'book'. Then,
by applying well-known XSL templates (single HTML, not
chuncking), a set of
HTML pages is produced. 

Everything works good and I am thinking of implementing
navigation between
these documents. However, for each document its siblings are
known during
generation of the Docbook XML and this is why I want the
information about
sibling documents to be placed somewhere in the XML so that
it could be then
later taken by XSL templates during processing and put at
the very top and
very bottom of each of the generated documents. This way I
think navigation
could be provided.

However, titlepage is the upper element while I want
navigation line to be
above the titlepage... I guess the possible hack would be to
use an element
like 'subtitle' and then tune it to appear at the top of the
titlepage.
However, this would be a hack...

Hope I could explain the problem. Feel free to criticize
this approach - I
am more than happy to improve. ...And thanks in advance for
the comments.
