Hi Tony,
No, the template system is not set up for nesting titlepage elements.
It uses the element name of each child of t:titlepage-content to create
a match attribute in the generated xsl:template. The system is designed
to allow the user to specify which titlepage elements should appear, in
what order, and with specific properties, without having to write XSL.
For more complex needs, I have used the t:named-template feature to call
a custom template (see for example the title element for book), which
could process both title and subtitle. Most often, though, I just write
the XSL I need in custom templates "book.titlepage.recto" and
"book.titlepage.verso" to completely override the generated templates.

Is is possible to wrap two or more elements inside a

sequence of empty elements.
I want an article's title and subtitle to be formatted inside an
<fo:block> that provides their common background. That doesn't seem
possible with the templating mechanism (except by the template that's
called for the title also finding and processing the subtitle). Is it
possible?
