The documentation is confusing on this matter then: [4.0] Condition is a general-purpose effectivity attribute with no specified semantics. Many DocBook users observed that in order to add an effectivity condition that was unique to their environment required “abusing” the semantics of one of the existing attributes, or adding their own, making their customization an extension rather than a subset. The Condition attribute provides a standard place for application-specific effectivity. -- http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/ref-elements.html#common.attributes Is this not true? If it were true, it seems like a perfect match. > You might instead use something like this: I do not want to use "html-profile" or similar as this is meant to be a profile for my DocBook document not my HTML.
