I submit this solution to the problem.  It illustrates a technique carried
forward from my days laying type.  I've included the complete stylesheet to shed
some light on one particular manner of using XSLT to introduce dynamism to FO
generation.  Mea culpa the attachments.

The busywork with variables at start of the stylesheet is to demonstrate that
the technique can be utilized with a degree of flexibility, including parameters
passed from calling process.  The solution can be improved directly by
increasing the precision of $font.size.factor:
