BTW I have not checked, but I don't think docbook has a version > attribute which applies to para :) What would be the problem with using > table markup for changelogs? The idea was to allow other formatting by livedocs but if we want to go table then let's just do that and do so with a list of role entities inside of language-defs.ent (similar to the reftitle entities). I copied the version tag from your example! :) A table feels better for the changelog, still not sure about the parameter listing. The manual may look nice with the parameter list using a varlist while the changelog uses a table. Both using table would be a lot of tables! I'll work on some examples, this is going to be good.
