Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: clarify profiling logic

Yes, that's a good idea, too.

Because I'm using sdocbook, I now find that my choice of profiling 
attributes is considerably smaller than would be the case with full db. 
It's too bad, for example, that 'status' hasn't been included in the 
profiling code; it would be useful for section level profiling.

I've done a small hack of profile-mode.xsl (and profile.xsl too) to 
include my own attributes; it will become a customization now that I 
understand the code a bit better. I might extend it to include the ID 
attribute. (I know there is code for using ID to generate html, but at 
the moment I'm chopping up xml to output xml.)

My so called "general" approach will have to wait until I have better 
xslt chops, I'm afraid.

cheers.            ...edN
