Thanks, that worked well!

Since I want my bibliography after the index, I did the same thing for
that.  Thinking about it again, I put it in a <for-each>, to use the
order from the source.  Like this:

    <xsl:for-each select="d:index|d:bibliography">
      <xsl:variable name="trailer" select="."/>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="page.sequence">
        <xsl:with-param name="content">
          <xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
        </xsl:with-param>
      </xsl:apply-templates>
    </xsl:for-each>

I also customised the template for d:index, adding a span="all"
attribute to the right block, so the title spans all columns.  The line
with the "HERE" comment is the only line modified.

  <!-- Copied from index.xsl, modified to let index header span columns
-->
  <xsl:template match="d:index">
    <xsl:variable name="id">
      <xsl:call-template name="object.id"/>
    </xsl:variable>
    
    <xsl:if test="$generate.index != 0">
      <xsl:choose>
        <xsl:when test="$make.index.markup != 0">
          <fo:block>
            <xsl:call-template name="generate-index-markup">
              <xsl:with-param name="scope"
select="(ancestor::d:book|/)[last()]"/>
            </xsl:call-template>
          </fo:block>
        </xsl:when>
        <xsl:otherwise>
          <fo:block id="{$id}" span="all"><!-- HERE -->
            <xsl:call-template name="index.titlepage"/>
          </fo:block>
          <xsl:apply-templates/>
          <xsl:if test="count(d:indexentry) = 0 and count(d:indexdiv) =
0">
            <xsl:call-template name="generate-index">
              <xsl:with-param name="scope"
select="(ancestor::d:book|/)[last()]"/>
            </xsl:call-template>
          </xsl:if>
        </xsl:otherwise>
      </xsl:choose>
    </xsl:if>
  </xsl:template>

I think what I really would like is a way to have something that is not
a page-sequence hold multiple columns.  But it seems xsl-fo requires a
page master for holding the columns?
