It seems to me that it's hard to find a sans-serif typeface that has anything other than identical or nearly-identical stroke weights throughout. I'm looking for something much more like a Didone, or at least a Garalde, in terms of stroke weight, but a sans-serif. Has anybody got any recommendations? Thanks!
Rotis SemiSans?

These are great suggestions, but nothing's working for me yet. I need to match Adobe Jenson Pro alongside some ornamentation. So many of these have an Art Deco slant that will pull too much focus. The sans-serif part of this design is more of a subheader to the main title, which is in Jenson. Anyway, please keep ideas coming! Thanks! :-)
There are some sans derivations of Trajan out there (with lc) - one of those might click.

If it needs to harmonise with a Jenson, consider ITC Legacy Sans.
In the Optima vein: Classico, Stellar, Beorcana, Meadow, Minerva, Mentor.

ITC Legacy Sans would really match Jenson, like John said. It has its roots in Jenson, so it shouldn't cause you much problems.
Here are two examples of a didone-like sans partnered with Jenson Pro... sorry if the title text is nonsense... but you should get the idea...
