I'm struggling with the same problem at the moment.
Norm did a piece for XSLT-UK 01 which addressed it.
In the fo directory is a file in xml which specifies how
the titlepage content is selected and displayed.
Tweak this to include exclude what you want, transform it using
the /template/titlepage.xsl stylesheet into mytemplate.xsl,
then create a shell importing and including mytemplate.xsl and docbook.xsl
then use this as the stylesheet for your xml document.

Some documentation in template/titlepage.xsl, 
I don't know if Norm has put his paper up on his website yet how this
all works.

I'm finding it OK with Renderx and Antenna House so far.
Just takes a bit of thinking about.

Norm resolved the duplicate definition of the named template.

I guess that will be fixed before 1.38 goes hot.
