Another one:
When border-separation is set on a table with the separate border model,
should half of it lie in the margin-start/end of the table?
If an fo:block has, say, border-start set to 1pt that border will lie in
the block’s margin; if that block has no margin, then the border will
lie outside the region-body.
Obviously this should be the same for fo:table, but should also half of
the border-separation be put in the margin? The rec says the following
(section 6.7.3):
“If the value of the "border-collapse" property is "separate" the
border is composed of two components. The first, which is placed
with the inside edge coincident with the outermost table grid
boundary line, has the width of half the value for the
"border-separation" property. It is filled in accordance with the
"background" property of the fo:table. Second, outside the outermost
table grid boundary line is placed, for each side of the table,
a border based on a border specified on the table.”
But nothing is said about how the “outermost grid boundary line” should
be x-offset WRT to the parent ref-area... If it’s zero like I believe,
then half of the border-separation should lie in the margin.
FWIW, the only implementation I found that does something sensible about
border-separation is XSL Formatter, and it puts nothing of it in the
margin. So the opposite to what I believe... :-\
Thoughts?
