Personally I'd lose the inflexible attribute set syntax and replace it by a variable (or named template if you need to be more dynamic) instead of <xsl:attribute-set name="title-style"> <xsl:attribute name="font-size">12pt</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="font-weight">bold</xsl:attribute> </xsl:attribute-set> have <xsl:template name="title-style"> <xsl:attribute name="font-size">12pt</xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name="font-weight">bold</xsl:attribute> </xsl:template> then instead of <foo xsl:use-attribute-sets="title-style"> use <foo> <xsl:call-template name="title-style"/> which has the advantage that you can wrap the call-template in conditional code, or parameterise it, or make its result depend on the current context, as required.
