Hi,
I've read that section several times now and it appears there are 3 ways 
to edit the title properties -
customize the titlepage spec file
or
customize the attribute-set
or
customize the template
So, it looks like the easiest way to get what I need done is to simply 
change the font-size in the titlepage spec (since I am only trying to make 
the title font smaller). This is what I have now -

  <t:titlepage t:element="chapter" t:wrapper="fo:block"
               font-family="{$title.fontset}">
    <t:titlepage-content t:side="recto" 
margin-left="{$title.margin.left}">
      <title t:named-template="component.title"
             param:node="ancestor-or-self::chapter[1]"
             font-size="&hsize3;"
             font-weight="bold"/>

The font-size was originally "&hsize5;", but the resulting .pdf file does 
not reflect the smaller size font in chapter titles, they are still size 5 
even though the template is set to size 3.

I'm I interpreting the manual incorrectly?
