I'm trying to make the stylesheet do this automatically without the need
for an role attribute (which is the way it should really work IMO), but
it's a bit more tricky than I thought.  I though I could just make a
list of trademarks that have been shown with trademark symbol, but it
doesn't seem that DSSSL allow global/persistent variables, so for each
trademark I have to go back and check if the current trademark have been
shown with a trademark symbol before.

I'm not really sure if it can be made to work right, while not having a
too bad impact on "compile time", but I just want to try a bit.  If I
can't make it work, using role attribute is probably the best way to
handle this.

/me mumbles that it could have done in half an hour, if DSSSL had used a
sensible language. :-)
