Re: [docbook-apps] profiling and entities

Yes, that's the basic idea.  You don't need to mess with the 
template that handles elements, because you only need to change 
an attribute.   This template handles attributes:

<!-- Copy all non-element nodes -->
<xsl:template 
match="@*|text()|comment()|processing-instruction()" 
mode="profile">
  <xsl:copy/>
</xsl:template>

You could just add a new template with match="@entityref", use 
xsl:attribute to generate a fileref, and use the function to 
convert the entityref value.  Your new template will have 
precedence over the default attribute handling template for that 
attribute.
