How to do Profiling to OMIT elements from results?

["Billard, Trish" <trish.billard@hp.com>]

Hi there,

  I'm trying to play with some profiling with the DocBook xsl styleheets.  What I've noticed is that it seems to be additive:  That is, if I specify condition=fred and transform set the transform to condition=fred, I get everything that has no profile PLUS everything where condition=fred but not that has condition=julia.  Well and good.

  The problem is, what I'd really like to do is code something as condition=hidden, and then never have anything with condition=hidden show up in the results.  I'd like to get everything that has no value for the condition attribute but NOT the things that have condition=hidden.  
  Is there a way to do this?  Is there a way to specify condition!=hidden (condition not equals hidden) or to somehow only get the elements with no value for condition?  I haven't been able to find a way in my web searches.  Am I stuck with either making all elements have condition=visible or something or making up some kind of 2 pass profiling?

Thanks,

--Trish
