Bob Stayton in his book suggests that you 

- set values of body.font.size, body.font.family and other stylesheet parameters in your customization layer
or
- create new attribute-set with XSL-FO properties (such as font-size font-family).

XSL FO does not have body.font.size attribute; but DocBook XSL has a parameter with 
this name.

What you probably need is to add

<xsl:param name="body.font.size">10pt</xsl:param>
<xsl:param name="body.font.family">serif</xsl:param>
<xsl:param name="line.height">normal</xsl:param>

to the customization layer.
