Ah. That's the little fella!

>>Note that you will get page breaks for the first section at level 2, 3, 
etc. as well
Indeed. I had that in mind... little steps ;o)

For clarity - and other's possible use, here's the code in full:

../fo/titlepage.templates.xml
-----------------------------
<t:titlepage t:element="section" t:wrapper="fo:block">
...
...
  <t:titlepage-before t:side="recto">
    <xsl:param name="node" select="."/>
    <xsl:if test="not($node/preceding-sibling::section)">
      <xsl:if 
test="$node/parent::chapter|$node/parent::appendix|$node/parent::preface">
        <fo:block break-before="page"/>
      </xsl:if>
    </xsl:if>
  </t:titlepage-before>
...
...
</t:titlepage>

my.fo.customisation.layer.xsl
-----------------------------

<!-- Double sided print & odd page chapter start                  -->
<xsl:param name="double.sided">1</xsl:param>

<!--Force Section1 ("topics") - onto new page                     -->
<!--Makes all my level 1 <section>s start on a new page and, with
    the t:element="section" patch above, forces the first topic
    in a chapter to start on an odd page                          -->
  <xsl:attribute-set name="section.level1.properties">
  <xsl:attribute name="break-before">page</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>

This works for me using v1.6.2.4 Docbook Stylesheets and FOP 0.20.5

Thanks for the help, Bob.

Change side="recto" to t:side="recto" and it should work.

Note that you will get page breaks for the first section at
level 2, 3, etc. as well. Is that what you intended?  Your test
needs to test for parent being chapter (or appendix if you
use those).
