+<para>If non-zero, the <tag class="attribute">role</tag> attribute on

+In DocBook V4.3, the <tag class="attribute">xrefstyle</tag> attribute was added for this purpose.
+If the <tag class="attribute">xrefstyle</tag> attribute is present,
+<tag class="attribute">role</tag> will be ignored, regardless of the setting
