Did you see my response to your previous message. It's a solution to your
specific requirement of coloring a background cell.

As far as other types of styling, that's a bit tougher. It's all in the
hand-off between DocBook and XSL-FO. You need to sort out what the XSL
needs to find in the DocBook to get the appropriate XSL-FO output. Then you
need to get AsciiDoc to put that into the DocBook it generates.

I do agree that it would be nice if AsciiDoc supported a generic way of
passing a role to a table cell. Currently it can do things like halign,
valign, etc, but it doesn't have an "open" attribute assignment.

You're probably going to need to pass some addition processing instructions
through to the XSL template and then process them there. Customizing the
XSL template is complex and tests your patience, but it is *extremely*
powerful once you sort it out (though you will still want to gouge your
eyes out).
