I found new element in errors output :

I made a new book project from oXygen template. I add some indexterm  
and generate a PDF using my custom stylesheet with  <xsl:attribute  
name="span">all</xsl:attribute>.

The title "Index" still on the right of the first column but :

         [warning] 'span' attribute on block ignored because the  
element is not a direct child of a flow

I've change fo:block to fo:wrapper (as I found in Bob's book) in my  
chappendix.title template. The error disappeared but all my chapter  
title are left aligned.

Thanks for you help,

Jacques
