/ Togan Muftuoglu <toganm@users.sourceforge.net> was heard to say:
| 1) Is appendix in an article considered a "back-matter"
|  a) If so <xsl:param colum.count.back="2"> should produce a two column
| Appendix right but it does not

Yes. And it does for me. A FOP/PassiveTeX problem, perhaps?

|  b) Should not appendix be forced to start on a new page even on
| articles? Currently I am forcing this via processing instruction (Iam
| using double side printing)

That probably needs to be an option. I tend to view appendixes in
articles a bit like specially titled sections.

File a feature request and I'll try to get it in the next release (the
one after 1.56.0, which I'm sturggling to get out the door today.)

| 2. If appendix is not back-matter what are back matters

      <xsl:when test="$pageclass = 'lot'">lot</xsl:when>
      <xsl:when test="$element = 'dedication'">front</xsl:when>
      <xsl:when test="$element = 'preface'">front</xsl:when>
      <xsl:when test="$element = 'appendix'">back</xsl:when>
      <xsl:when test="$element = 'glossary'">back</xsl:when>
      <xsl:when test="$element = 'bibliography'">back</xsl:when>
      <xsl:when test="$element = 'index'">index</xsl:when>
      <xsl:when test="$element = 'colophon'">back</xsl:when>
      <xsl:otherwise>body</xsl:otherwise>

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
