Please test with XEP and confirm whether you can reproduce the
problem using XEP. If you can't, it's an FOP bug. If you can
reproduce it with XEP, please post a minimal test case (a DocBook
document) that can be used to reproduce the problem.

Please post a test case. I think I made some changes to the chunk
behavior for 1.73.0 and that may have broken something. But the
reference documentation for the stylesheets is built using the
chunk stylesheet, so I know the chunk stylesheet works with at
least one document :)

I added that param with the intention that it suppresses output of
the auto-generated localized abstract title (which is "Abstract"
for English output). But that is another feature that the
reference documentation for the stylesheets uses, and I know it
works for the case of that document. But it could well be that I
missed some other cases. Please post a minimal doc that I can use
to reproduce the problem, and I'll try it.

A general comment: If you are using a customization layer, please
also test with the "stock" stylesheets (that is, without your
customization layer) and make sure that you can reproduce the
problem that way.
