That's embarrassing, but it does seem that Docbook XML 4.1.2 does use
notations for two purposes:
1. To identify preformatted elements in which white space should be
preserved using the linespecific notation
2. To identify the targets of olink elements
As near as I can tell it does not use notations to identify the types
of graphic elements such as imagedata. Although these elements have
format attributes, those attributes have an enumerated type, not a
NOTATION type.
Docbook does not appear to use unparsed entities.

That does seem to use both unparsed entities and notations.
