I see. Not bad. However, I would prefer to avoid element grammar to
depend on attributes because this is not generally the way DocBook
does it.
This sort of layout can in principle be achieved using DocBook tables
(CALS or HTML style), which is what I do, but it is unwieldy and
cumbersome to adjust.
It is not semantic, it is inaccessible for non-visual users
and plain bad XML IMHO.
Perhaps one way forward would be to think about simplified markup for
tabular layouts whose semantics are inspired by tables

This would yield intuitive semantics, and stylesheets might reuse much
of the table-related code.
