I don't even know the xsl to turn <element>Non equidem insector delendave carmina Livi esse reor, memini quae plagosum mihi parvo Orbilium dictare; <greek>S</greek>sed emendata videri pulchraque et exactis minimum distantia miror.

There must be a way but i can't think what it is. {:-( let's see... <fo:block><xsl:value-of select="element"><xsl:apply-templates select="greek"/></xsl:value-of></fo:block> .. would that be it.
