hmm. I guess I could shoe-horn PDF bookmarks into here, though in fact 
I need 3 separate bits of information (the level of bookmark, the
symbolic name to link to, and the text). so I'd have to do something like

    <fo:block role="bookmark (2)(life)('2.1. O tempora, o mores!')">
         2.1. O tempora, o mores!
    <fo:block>

and split it up later.

The FOP people will need this in due course, if they want `rich' PDF...
