The short answer:
No, if you are working with nested fo:block elements (like
we are here), you can set any properties you like with the
attribute-sets (as long as they apply at the block level),
in the inner block, and they will override the same
property in an ancestor block, as from titlepage.templates.
Is there a property you could not set with the
attribute-sets?
