Is it possible to grab individual ranges of characters
(specifically lines of text) out of an element with DSSSL (and
in Jade 0.8)?

For example, suppose I wanted to write a style sheet that could
enumerate the lines of a ProgramListing in DocBook so that

<programlisting>
int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
  ...
}
</programlisting>

came out as

 1. int main (int argc, char **argv)
 2. {
      ...
97. }

Can I?  (er, no, _I_ can't ;-)  But can it be done?! ;-)
