Actually, those groups are not linked to XML files, but to the language 
highlighting available.

Yes, that's it. You might solve it by creating a .lang for docbook (or 
just simply copy the XML one) and link it to the docbook mimetype (I 
suppose there is one), with "docbook" as a name.

Otherwise, you can just put your new snippets in the XML group ;-)
