(dsssl) Dynamic defines

[Devin Weaver <ktohg@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was wondering if there was a way to dynamically define a veriable
depending on the value of an attribute in the root tag.

For an example (DocBook):
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.1.2//EN"
                   "http://www.oasis-open/docbook/xml/4.1.2/docbookx.dtd";>
    <book lang="en" id="book1" status="draft">
	<chapter id="ch1">
	    <para>This is a para. <remark>This is a
	    comment.</remark></para>
	<chapter>
    </book>

I want to (define %show-comments% #t) only if status="draft"
The problem is in my custom dsl the current-node has yet to be defined
so there is no way for me to get at the attributs of book. and even if
I did the root element can change. (Could be article, part, set, etc.)

Anyone know how this could be done?
