  Well, we need a bit more of methodology.  First, you should try to reproduce
the problem at the FO level.  Just try to use the attribute in a plain FO
file, for instance one generated from your XSLT.  If you cannot get what you
want at that level, post a simple and complete example here.

  Then only try to adapt it to be generated from XSLT.  Once again, if you
have a problem during that phase, post a simple example here that reproduces
this problem, with sample input and output, as well as required output.

  Doing so, we could help you by knowing the exact problem.

  Regards,
