OK, but just for future reference, here is the scoop on appendix *in*
article.
The title is generated from a gentext template located in common/en.xml,
contained in the l:context name="title-numbered" that looks like this:
<l:template name="article/appendix" text="%n. %t"/>
The gentext template for just name="appendix" looks like this:
<l:template name="appendix" text="Appendix %n. %t"/>
To add "Appendix" to the appendix in article, you could use the
local.l10n.xml parameter to customize it to:
<l:template name="article/appendix" text="Appendix %n. %t"/>
That process is described here:
http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/CustomGentext.html
This "article/appendix" gentext template is the only example in the
stylesheets that shows how you can specify a lineage on an element to modify
its gentext output for different contexts.
