Yes, I know (read in your readme/book). I'm using evaluation versions of
AntennaHouse Formatter and RenderX.

Here is my small test file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<book lang="de">
  <chapter>
    <title>Test</title>
    <para>Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text
      <sidebar><?dbfo float-style="margin.note"?>
        This is a margin note test
      </sidebar>
      Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text
      Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text
    </para>
  </chapter>
</book>

And this is my driver file (attribute-sets from the book):

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; 
version="1.0">

  <xsl:import href="docbook-xsl/fo/docbook.xsl"/>

  <xsl:param name="axf.extensions" select="1"></xsl:param>
  <!--<xsl:param name="xep.extensions" select="1"></xsl:param>-->

  <xsl:param name="body.start.indent">30mm</xsl:param>
  <xsl:param name="margin.note.float.type">start</xsl:param>
  <xsl:param name="margin.note.width">27mm</xsl:param>
  <xsl:attribute-set name="margin.note.properties">
    <xsl:attribute name="font-size">8pt</xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:attribute name="font-family"><xsl:value-of 
select="$title.fontset"/></xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:attribute name="border">0.5pt solid green</xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:attribute name="padding">3pt</xsl:attribute>
  </xsl:attribute-set>
  <xsl:attribute-set name="margin.note.title.properties">
    <xsl:attribute name="font-size">9pt</xsl:attribute>
  </xsl:attribute-set>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Can anybody please test it and tell me if it works?

Is there anything else that needs to be considered?
