Excuse my pessimism, but I think if you are doomed if you try to mess around with variable-size spaces, or leave any significant portion of the space distribution up to the backend's fitting algorithm. DSSSL has almost nothing to say about how vertical space should be distributed, and practically any reading of the min: and max: and nominal values will produce a conforming DSSSL implementation. Consequently, you will almost certainly not get the same behavior across backends. In fact, the reason DSSSL is so loose about this fact is probably precisely so that it can support diverse backends, all of which have their own way of doing fitting and pagination. --FC DSSSList info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/dsssl/dssslist
