[publican-list] How can certain warnings be turned off?

It is a valid DocBook tag, it's just "frowned upon" by Publican mainly 
because it's possibly going to affect translations of documents.

I'm not sure it can be, someone else may correct me though.

However, when you say that you want to supply text at the end of your 
links, what do you mean?

I have a document with lots of cross references, for example. I do this 
in the with an <XREF> tag with the link-end holding the ID of a section 
or paragraph etc:

<para> Blah blah blah. For more details, see <xref 
linkend="more-details" /> blah blah blah. </para>

...

<section id="more-details">
<title>More Details</title>
......

When this is built with Publican, what is generated in the PDF would be:

Blah blah blah. For more details, see Section 2.3.4 More Details blah 
blah blah.

Where "Section 2.3.4 More Details" is text generated by Publican from 
the section number and its title.

Not sure if this helps or not.


Cheers,
Norm.
