Thanks Bob, I see now that it's documented, http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/1.76.1/doc/fo/monospace.verbatim.font.width.html, and also that I can reach a sort of compromise with this. Maybe forcing width, if specified, to some known value that will force alignment with the right margin.
If writers want the stylesheets to treat wide programlisting elements like wide tables, in the style of pgwide="1", how should they go about it? There doesn't seem to be a pgwide attribute on programlisting. Even in the current docs <?dbfo pgwide?> looks like it applies only to equation and example.
