I don't understand Bill and you.

1) The really hairy part of xbm-button is the part that defines the
   font used in the buttons.

2) xbm-button is used to *create* XBM's, not to parse them, so I don't 
   see how it is relevant in this discussion.

Yes.  I'll look at the source and see how hard it is to fix it to
support the :data attribute correctly.
