I agree, although I think that it is the simplest solution to this problem. Of course the best way would be, as suggested, to have metadata in the file, using a different namespace (possibly RDF). If you're looking for typed values (like date in the original question) maybe you want schema support in XSLT. Support for schema simple types is on the requirement list for XSLT 2.0. > Here we are talking about identifying XML elements so that an XSLT > transformation can do some work on them; so this all should happen prior to > formatting and ought not be handled by using XSL-FO. IMO. The role attribute is in the FO file prior to formatting, so you can write an XSLT transformation that will process the FO file(s).
