Martin,

I admit I haven't tried this in Fedora 3 yet (what version are you using?), 
but you can make a Fedora modified directives file, and run it as a set of 
commands to modify your Fedora objects. I have written an XSLT 
transformation which I run on a batch of foxml includes to generate a 
modify directives file, and I'm happy to share it with you if you like 
(although it is probably specific to our content models).
