Yes, that's probably the best way (I forgot that you need to match
mpl0 as well - sorry).

Either that, or you have separate templates for mplhead and mpldata,
and give them a higher priority (e.g. 1) so that they're matched in
preference to the mplN elements. That would probably be cleaner and
less work for the processor.

Cheers,
