Re: [docbook-apps] itemized list, and import precedence

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

Hi Dave,
This isn't a case of import precedence, but of  different attributes.  In general, the 
qualified attributes (like  space-before.optimum) take precedence over the 
non-qualified attributes (like  space-before). I wish the DocBook XSL stylesheets had 
not been written using the qualified attributes in some of the attribute-sets, because 
if you want to override the space before, you need to override all three of the 
qualified attributes for it to have any effectc.

BTW, was that a typo in your example?  Your attribute-set says space-before="5mm" but 
the resulting xsl-fo has space-before="0pt", but I don't see where the 0pt might have 
come from.
