Woops, i didn't interpret your message properly.
The technique i talked about is for the body of the page.

You want to something different. That is perhaps not possible,
as it is done with Javascript.

Also i see that the body-of-page ability was removed
(perhaps by accident) in r36355. So the demonstration
from the FAQ does not work.

See main/webapp/skins/pelt/xslt/html/document2html.xsl
around line 57.

Now investigating this on the dev list.
