I don't think that currenly there is a way to set this attribute ?

Unless Sergei Gorelkin knows a way, we'll have to adapt the fpdoc package.

In each case, the 'standalone' attribute is not valid XML according to:

http://www.w3.org/TR/xml/#NT-S

So I don't think you should bother adding that. Probably some M$ specific addition.
