Map XML tag to an object style

Question

Hi everyone!
I am not sure this is the correct place to post it, but i didn't find any "tagging" department of the forums.
I do import some XML into ID document.
Text nodes of my XML are imported properly, and i can map any tag of XML to one of the paragraph or table styles.
But, when i import any images (or another ID documents) with <... href="..." />, how can i map that tag to an object style?
///////////// It would be very helpful for example when i'm going to set the stroke of 1pt to all of inline images of text frame.
Please any feedback would be helpful.
Alex.

I will try to give an example, just to give a kick start ........... you need little bit of tweaking to meet your actual requirement:
suppose you have an xml element "tag" having an attribute "@href" with object style name defined as  it's value. 
<tag href="object_style_name">
"object_style_name" is a object style and should exist in your document. To map the tag with the corresponding object style value you can use XMLRules in JS:
//NOTE: NOT TESTED, BUT SHOULD WORK
#include "glue code.jsx"
main();
function main(){
if (app.documents.length != 0){
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myRuleSet = new Array (
new findObjAttribute("//*[@href]")
with(myDoc){
var elements = xmlElements;
__processRuleSet(elements.item(0), myRuleSet);
else{
alert("You have no document open!");
exit();
function findObjAttribute(XPATH){
this.name = "findObjAttribute";
this.xpath = XPATH;
this.apply = function(myElement, myRuleProcessor)
//Just to check whether the collect element is selected
var elmName=myElement.markupTag.name;
var styleName=myElement.xmlAttributes.itemByName("href").value;
with(myElement){
try {
applyObjectStyle(myDoc.objectStyles.item(styleName), true);
     } catch(e){};
return true;
