Just a quick follow up question... Is this the intended (permanent) behavior of http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/doc/fo/activate.external.olinks.html in that it work only for <olink> elements and not also with elements having the xlink:role="http://docbook.org/xlink/role/olink"; attribute?
(I was thinking of elements having the xlink:role=" http://docbook.org/xlink/role/olink"; attribute as being olinks, too.)
