Right. I should have added an explicit warning to that effect. I'll
hack up a stylesheet to convert "proper" FO documents back to what FOP
expects.
I asked the FOP guys when they might get around to updating FOP to
reflect this aspect of the Recommendation and they said probably not
for a "a few months". That's too long. Now that Sebastian and RenderX
are both conformant, I'll get more bug reports if I don't change than
if I do.
Be seeing you,
