This is not the semantics for <sidebar>. TDG says it is "A portion of
a document that is isolated from the main narrative flow".
What you want looks like a specific rendering of so-called
<footnotes>, but it's not possible to express that with
simple-page-sequences I'm afraid.
OTOH, it can be seen as a rendering issues of the page-footnote
flow-objects passed to jadetex (they are an extention over DSSSL), and
maybe a small piece of TeX wizardry in a jadetex.cfg could put them
into the margin.
