A docbook-xsl parameter "bridgehead.renderas"

[Erik Leunissen <elns@xs4all.nl>]

L.S.

As it happens, I find myself repeatedly in the situation where I want to 
use bridgeheads.

In all of these cases I want all bridgeheads throughout the document to 
be rendered in the same way; as a section at a specific level (e.g. 
sect5). [*]

The facility to customize this is the renderas attribute to the 
bridgehead element.

In my use case, it strikes me as inapt to have to adjust that attribute 
in ever the same way for each instance of a bridgehead in the document. 
It seems logical/practical to have a docbook-xsl parameter (e.g. 
"bridgehead.renderas") which handles this at at the document level.

The docbook-xsl stylesheets do not currently provide such a facility. 
Well, I guess that amounts to a Feature Request ...

Anything wrong with this idea?

Greetings,

Erik Leunissen.
