You cannot do that within XXE.
What follows is a piece of XSLT ``code'':
---
<xsl:attribute-set name="monospace.properties">
<xsl:attribute name="font-size">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="self::programlisting">8pt</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>10pt</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>
---
In order to use this piece of code, you need to customize the DocBook
XSLT style sheets.
(Authors are not expected to do this. Power users, local gurus, XML
consultants are expected to do this on the behalf of a group of authors.
This is not really different from what happens with Microsoft Word: a
normal user is not supposed to modify the corporate style sheet.)
How to do that is explained here: "Customizing an existing
configuration"
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/configure/customizing.html
and more specifically here: "Customizing the XSLT style sheets used in
the Convert Document submenu"
