Hi Robert,
I wasn't sure how to respond to this message when you said:

Are you familiar with the process of creating a customization layer for
DocBook XSL? If not, that process is described here:

http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/CustomMethods.html#CustomizationLayer

If so, are you familiar with the use of attribute-sets? If not, those are
described here:

http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/AttributeSets.html

You can customize the attribute-set named 'xref.properties' in your
customization layer to set the bold property:

<xsl:attribute-set name="xref.properties">
<xsl:attribute name="font-weight">bold</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>

You can add whatever XSL-FO properties are appropriate for inline text. See
a good reference on XSL-FO for documentation on such properties.
