I don't think that this is an openjade issue.  What version of Dockbook DTD
are you using?

I fixed my problem by changing the DTD to include the format type that I
wanted.  See attached email from Norm on the preferred solution.

Adding the notation is OK. You should do it in dbgenent.ent, though.
Or in your document.
