Re: [docbook-apps] "propagates.style" question

Sorry for the slow response on this one.  The "*.propagates.role" mechanism 
was not suitable for scaling to all elements.  Instead, a template mode now 
generates the class value for each element.  You can control the class 
attributes using a simple template customization starting with version 
1.73.2 of the stylesheets.  See this doc for details:

http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/HtmlCustomEx.html#CustomClassValues

For example:

<xsl:template match="table[@role = 'parts']" mode="class.value">
  <xsl:text>parts-table</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
