First rule in 5.3.2 for FOs that generate reference areas: start-indent = margin-corresponding + padding-corresponding + border-corresponding-width. > (Corresponding > properties just map ***-start to ***-left, etc. for an > otherwise-same-named property so CP don't appear to be > relevant to this issue.

Yes, also in 5.3.2: "There are two more properties, "end-indent" and "start-indent" (block-level formatting objects) which correspond to the various absolute "margin" properties. Jeremias Maerki
