The reason I ask is it is possible that Vincent's interpretation of the spec (and the current FOP implementation) is incorrect. I am not saying it is or it isn't. It has been my experience with the XSL-FO spec and the XSL-FO group that straightforward interpretations are not always possible or in agreement with the intention of the authors.
I would suggest contacting Anders Berglund or Sharon Adler to verify that the filed W3C bug is accepted as a bug or not before taking action in FOP. It might also produce additional information that will help resolve this issue without declaring an explicit variance from the spec. It would also be useful to survey other implementations as well to determine their behavior on this point. G.
