upgrade your xsltproc

In case you didn't see the announcement, xsltproc
(libxslt is the package) has a new release that fixes the
problem with merging attribute sets.  If you are doing
XSL stylesheet customization for FO output, you should
definitely upgrade to version 1.0.33 so an attribute-set in
your customization properly merges with an attribute-set
of the same name in the stylesheets.
