My answer assumes that you are talking about:

13. The "Customize CSS Stylesheet" dialog box

http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/customizeStylesheetDialog.html




only wants to apply a style for para.

No, you are free to write any CSS rule you want, even very complex ones.

I mean, you are NOT limited to very simple selectors like "para" in:

para {
   color: cyan;
}




There appears to be no way for me to
tell it that I want a style for revisionflag.added.
I'm not a programmer, and any documentation I've been able to find on this has 
not
been helpful in getting more granular styles applied.

If you can provide an example of what the CSS would look like for
applying a style (color to cyan for example) to revisionflag.added, that
would be most helpful.

It's really basic CSS:

*[revisionflag="added"] {
    color: cyan;
    text-decoration: underline;
}

*[revisionflag="deleted"] {
    color: gray;
    text-decoration: line-through;
}

See https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/selector.html#attribute-selectors




This is the primary reason that I've used the
profiles portion for applying styles.  It is very easy to do so, and our
customized stylesheets match what is displayed.


You are free to use a ".profiles" file if you prefer. However, my previous email was an attempt to explain that:

1) a ".profiles" file styling "revisionflag.added" on screen will have no effect when converting your document to PDF because the DocBook XSL stylesheets do not support "flagging" elements, but just excluding them.

2) a ".profiles" file is NOT adapted to styling elements in the general case. For example, giving a distinct screen style to different kinds of notes.
