Is there a way to change the formatting on an object (e.g. table background
color) and have that format dictated by a value in the XML?  I'm not talking
about conditional formatting, but true dynamic formatting.  For example: I
can use conditional formatting to change color, but I have to code the form
ahead of time to expect specific colors.  In a dynamic scenario I want to
have the content drive the color, but I don't want to restrict the list of
colors by creating a conditional formatting rule for each possible color.

pseudo code example
 Conditional formatting: if myValue = "green", set color = "green"
 Dynamic: set color = myValue
