| Norm might want to answer this too, but
| I believe the mechanisms are meant to be combined, in
| a hierarchical manner.  The titlepage.templates
| mechanism establishes the default values, and the
| propery attribute-sets provide the runtime flexibility.

Right.

| I can't say how 'futureproof" these various mechanisms are.
| It kind of seems like there are too many places
| to set properties, but I believe some of that is the result of
| stylesheet evolution, rather than by design.
| So perhaps these will be consolidated a bit in the future.

Yes, I think a little bit of conscious redesign is in order.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
