Admittingly, I was tired the day I wrote that :-)

So, I repost my answer to Gian's questions from December 7th (a long
one)- Let me know if you want all the documents, I'll post them on my
web site.:
Actually I discover that this is not the same for chapter, preface
and appendix.
This a book with multiple files, double-sided .
There is a customization of titlepage-template, mainly to reduce the
space before and after:
A - For preface:
<t:titlepage t:element="preface" t:wrapper="fo:block">
<t:titlepage-content t:side="recto">
<title
t:force="1"
t:named-template="component.title"
param:node="ancestor-or-self::preface[1]"
margin-left="{$title.margin.left}"
font-size="&hsize5;"
font-family="{$title.fontset}"
font-weight="bold"
text-align="center"
start-indent="0pt"
space-before.minimum="0em"
space-before.optimum="0em"
space-before.maximum="0em"
space-after="0em"/>
B - For Appendix
<t:titlepage t:element="appendix" t:wrapper="fo:block">
<t:titlepage-content t:side="recto">
<title
t:named-template="component.title"
param:node="ancestor-or-self::appendix[1]"
margin-left="{$title.margin.left}"
font-size="&hsize4;"
font-weight="bold"
text-align="center"
space-before.minimum="0em"
space-before.optimum="0em"
space-before.maximum="0em"
font-family="{$title.fontset}"/>
(Notice the lack of start-indent="0pt" here, a mistake from my part).
Without it, Appendix is not centered, in both versions of stylesheet,
with it, it is centered in 1.68.1 only.
C - For Chapter
<t:titlepage t:element="chapter" t:wrapper="fo:block"
font-family="{$title.fontset}">
<t:titlepage-content t:side="recto" margin-
left="{$title.margin.left}">
<title t:named-template="component.title"
param:node="ancestor-or-self::chapter[1]"
font-size="&hsize5;"
font-weight="bold"
text-align="center"
start-indent="0pt"
space-before.minimum="0em"
space-before.optimum="0em"
space-before.maximum="0em"
space-after="0em"/>
There is also a custom layer:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";>
<xsl:import href="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/
fo/docbook.xsl"/>
(Actually this is resolved locally to 1.68.1 or 1.69.1 depending of
which version I install)
<xsl:import href="titlepage-a4.xsl"/>

I've redone the production of pdf with exactly the same customized
stylesheets for 1.68.1 and 1.69.1, because actually there were
differences in the versions (keep-with-next for 1.68.1 and keep-with-
next-within-columns for 1.69.1 in official template) and also a
difference in start-indent in appendix or chapter.
So, now preface, chapters are centered in 1.68.1 but not appendix
(unless I put start-indent="0pt" as stated above); None are centered
in 1.69.1.
I - Here are the differences for appendix:
a - Appendix not centered in 1.68.1 (lack of start-indent="0pt)
<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body"
start-indent="4pc"
end-indent="0pt">
<fo:block id="bluefish-appb">

margin-left="-1pc"
font-size="20.736pt"

hyphenation-remain-character-count="2">Appendix B. Bluefish change

</fo:block>
</fo:block>
</fo:block>
b - Appendix centered in 1.68.1 (with start-indent="0pt")
<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body"
start-indent="4pc"
end-indent="0pt">
<fo:block id="bluefish-appa">

hyphenation-push-character-count="2"
hyphenation-remain-character-count="2">Appendix A. Credits<fo:block>
</fo:block>
</fo:block>
</fo:block>
</fo:block>
Notice the integration of text-align and start-indent in the first
fo:block.
c - Appendix not centered on 1.69.1 (without start-indent)
<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body"> (change here)
<fo:block id="bluefish-appb">

<fo:block>

space-before.optimum="0em"
space-before.maximum="0em"
font-family="sans-serif,Symbol,ZapfDingbats">
<fo:block
keep-with-next.within-column="always"
space-before.optimum="10pt"
space-before.minimum="10pt * 0.8"

hyphenation-remain-character-count="2">Appendix B. Bluefish change

</fo:block>
</fo:block>
</fo:block>
So, basically, two changes: one for the pc thing, and a text-
align="left" introduced in 1.69.1 (I cannot understand where it comes
from).
d - Appendix not centered on 1.69.1 (with start-indent-

It seems that 1.69.1 overrides whichever change is made to alignement
and start-indent with what is defined for title-margin-left. (i.e. no
distinction between chapter, preface, appendix and section titles).
II - chapter:
a - Chapter centered on 1.68.1
<fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body"
start-indent="4pc"
end-indent="0pt">

space-after="0em">

So, there changes: two related to pc, and the same text-align="left"
introduced. Same observation that above for appendix.

I cannot find anything meaningfull different (at least for me). So
apart from the keep-with-next.within-column or keep-with-next and the
pc thing (margin), I don't see anything changing.

The question is more for me, how do I persuade fop to take my desires
into account :-)
