Custom Ruling and Shading of Tables via xml and EDD rules

I have XML files that include tables.  Some cells include a class such as:
<td class="cheader"> Centered text with gray shading
<td class="header"> Left justified text with gray shading
<td class="cbody"> Centered text not shaded
<td class="body"> Left justified text not shaded

I want to be able to open the XML file using FM10 and have the cells
formatted.

I do not see a "Custom Ruling and Shading" EDD Rule that allows ruling and
shading to be defined for a cell based on a Context Rule such as
[class="cheader"].

*Am I missing something?*

It appears that using the table format styles are limited to an orderly set
of rulings and shadings rather than being totally custom or XML attribute
driven for specific rows or cells.

I can change the markup or take a totally different approach but I nered
the format to be driven by the XML data not manual activity in Framemaker
aftrer opening the XML file..

*Any suggestions?*
