Hi Stephen,
Well, the DocBook schema currently doesn't allow
floatstyle on sidebar. It seems that it should, but it was never
added. So the semantics still require processing instructions, as
described here:

What are the recommended semantics for floats in V5?
I see
email traffic pre-V5 about deprecating the "float" attribute in favour of
"floatstyle". So, for example, where my customisation layer floats sidebars on
the left by default, using the sidebar.float.type parameter, to float an
individual sidebar on the right, the following?
<sidebar
floatstyle="right">
<title>Sidebar
example</title>
<para>A sidebar can be used to
emphasise…</para>
</sidebar>
If the answer is Yes, I'd
be grateful for suggestions as to why the above sidebar floats on the left
with the others.
Best
Stephen
