No, XSL-FO has no specific elements for comments. It provides the "id" property for most FO elements which are used to uniquely identify some element. Also, there is the "role" property that indicates what element name in the original XML document produced a certain FO element, but that doesn't identify an element uniquely. > My motivation is to get docbook tables centered in print.

In that case it seems to make more sense to investigate if you can produce a role property. > Note that I have asked the db experts for xsl customization help. > > Thanks for any help or suggestions.
