"DocBook XSL: The Complete Guide" is essential reading:
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/index.html

For detailed information on title page customizations, see
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/HTMLTitlePage.html (general process) and

don't know. 

Two good commercial FO processors that support floats are XEP
(http://www.renderx.com) and Antenna House XSL Formatter
(http://www.antennahouse.com/).
