I need to pass a comment or pi into my fo output from my docbook
source.  Is there any way to do that within the languages now?  Is
there such a thing as an xsl:fo comment?

My motivation is to get docbook tables centered in print.  The method
shown on the fop site works for a specific table, but only if the
actual table width is somehow passed to fo.  A customization layer in
db xsl works with that dimension hardwired but, until this newb
figures out how to get the db xsl code working, I figure it's easier
to post process the fo file.

The best I can do to pass something that shows up in the fo file is
via the xml:id attribute, but I would rather have a more general way
to zero in on the specific table element and actual width.  I could
probably pass something like "xml:id='tableX-actual-width-3in'" and
kludge it from there.

Note that I have asked the db experts for xsl customization help.

Thanks for any help or suggestions.
