Well, if you do, you are sure to get your reader's attention.  8^)
The admonition.properties attribute-set is applied to the
body of the note (or other admonition).  The doc could
be more clear on this point.  The fo:blocks of
note title and note body are siblings, so neither set of
properties is inherited by the other.

The default is empty, so you just get inherited body text
properties.  But you could use it to change the font-family
of the note text, for example.
