I found part of a possible solution myself (in rading just a few more
lines in Bob's document):
If one uses the <phrase> element with a "role" attribute this value
will be passed down as "class" attribute of a "span", which is almost
what I want. The only difference is that with CSS like
h5.title { background-color: lightblue;
font-family: sans-serif;
font-size: small;
color: black;
}
span.title { background-color: lightblue;
font-family: sans-serif;
font-size: small;
color: black;
}
browsers render "h5.title" lines over the complete width of the
browser, the "span" part on the other hand only for the part which
is "spanned" (in the example below only "foo foo").
What I want is to get
<bridgehead><span role="title">foo foo</span></bridgehead>
rendered exactly like
<sect5>foo foo</sect5>
