Re: [docbook-apps] Suppressing section labels in preface elements (FO output)
Hi David,
I don't think that will work.  Unlike attributes in attribute-sets, a global 
param like section.autolabel is evaluated only once, before any templates 
are applied.

However, this hack works:

<xsl:template match="preface/section" mode="object.title.markup">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="title.markup"/>
</xsl:template>

The 'object.title.markup' mode is used to generate the title.  Normally the 
mode="object.title.markup" looks up a gentext template for the title and 
then fills in the number and title.  Because section numbers are turned on, 
the gentext template includes %n for the section number.   This specialized 
version short circuits that process and just generates the title.

I think this would do it:

<xsl:param name="section.autolabel">
 <xsl:choose>
  <xsl:when test="ancestor::preface">0</xsl:when>
  <xsl:otherwise>1</xsl:otherwise>
 </xsl:choose>
</xsl:param>
