I don't see that. In the sample you posted all "for top x%" and such
information could go into the <condFormat> element, as

<condFormat>
    <topPercent value="10" style="...">
</condFormat>

Or did I miss something?

Put them in the <condFormat> element. Btw, element and attribute names
need to be worked on to match ODF speak, also for background colors we
should use the already existing fo:background-color attribute.
