As far as I can tell, the reason for the initial collapse seems to be 
that the book title has a different level, which means all sections are 
collapsed under the title, while in the old version the title was on the 
same level as the sections, and sections were collapsed individually.

As to the missing bookmark of the Table of Contents, I have no idea yet.

I had noticed the changes in margin, but I actually thought it looked 
better ;). In any case, I did not touch any XSL parameters, although 
I'll double check if maybe I skipped one. I'd sooner suspect the reason 
is upgrading to docbook-xsl 1.79.1, or possibly my removal of 
fo/fo-fix.xsl from fo.xsl (as far as I know those fixes are no longer 
necessary with FO 2.4.0). I'll experiment with that.
