Below is a DSSSL style sheet that implements a simple form of option (b). I
have tested this with the latest HyBrick and with Jade.  It should be
usable by itself (no other catalog configuration needed).  Choose it as the
style for those documents that don't already have one.  It's simple enough
that you should be able to figure out how to adjust it to your own taste
without having the DSSSL spec to hand.

Note that HyBrick's Xlink support doesn't require any style work, so
documents using this style sheet will still exhibit their Xlink-defined
behavior.

Cheers,

E.
