You would usually use profiling for this, but for handling attribute values it is not very practical as profiling condition is attached to a whole element not only to single attribute.

Does it exists something similar to the following example, in the XLST world?

<table>
   <add-attribute-to-parent name=”frame” value=”all” outputformat=”HTML”/>
   <add-attribute-to-parent name=”frame” value=”none” outputformat=”PDF”/>
    …
    …
</table>

<table>
   <?attr name="frame" value="all" outputformat="HTML"?>
   <?attr name="frame" value="none" outputformat="PDF"/>

It would be better to use processing instruction for this, otherwise your document will not be valid DocBook, i.e. With such markup it would be quite easy to modify profiling step in the stylesheets to add desired attributes to a parent element.
