Hi Glenn, I don't think these changes constitute substantive changes. They do not add new functionality or otherwise create a significant risk for instability. They are merely bugfixes. The major motivation for fixing these IMO is in making everyone's life easier: Users will download FOP 1.1 and run into font auto-detection problems and others will have to help them.
