You would usually use profiling for this, but for handling attribute 
values it is not very practical as profiling condition is attached to a 
whole element not only to single attribute.

It would be better to use processing instruction for this, otherwise 
your document will not be valid DocBook, i.e.

<table>
    <?attr name="frame" value="all" outputformat="HTML"?>
    <?attr name="frame" value="none" outputformat="PDF"/>

With such markup it would be quite easy to modify profiling step in the 
stylesheets to add desired attributes to a parent element.
