There's no margin-left definition in my customization layer.

I did a bit of research and found, that most of the messages are sent when
the index is generated. It seems as if in the template called
"indexdiv.title" in index.xsl, line 224 (<fo:block
margin-left="{$title.margin.left}") the variable $title.margin.left does not
have the actual value of the title.margin.left parameter and is set to zero
instead.

The only occurance of a hard coded entry margin-left="0" I found in the
template called index.titlepage.recto in titlepage.templates.xsl, line 3081
(<fo:block xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";
xsl:use-attribute-sets="index.titlepage.recto.style" margin-left="0"
font-size="24.8832pt" font-family="{$title.fontset}" font-weight="bold">).
This template seems somehow to be used when the bibliography is processed
(for the title?). I got one error message from here.

Hope this helps a bit to track it down.
