It doesn't work like that elsewhere. The other places where it's used
do so by escaping boostbook markup, which is a bit of a hack and
problematic if quickbook is ever able to generate other types of
output.

That's up to you, they don't cause any harm. You could change the
document type to 'library'. There might be a valid way for quickbook
to encode them, docbook documentation info is quite complicated.
