Hi,

We use the <phrase> inline and a @role attribute behavior to implement
this in our customization. You'll need to check on what works with
your FO processor, but we add these two attributes to our current
fo:inline when we hit a matching phrase:

           <xsl:attribute
name="keep-together.within-line">always</xsl:attribute>
           <xsl:attribute name="hyphenate">false</xsl:attribute>


HTH,
Keith
