What would you expect a "\renewcommand function counterpart" to accomplish? 

XML has processing instructions (PIs). DocBook XSL recognizes a set of
predefined PIs, and you can also create your own as part of your
customization. See

You could also use the role attribute as a "hook" for customizations. See
