Why does the description for fo:block (section 4.4.1 in the current
XSL WD) list writing-mode as one of its properties? An fo:block
supposedly generates a block-area, not an area-container, and section
3.4.6 contains the following sentence:

"A block-area's 'writing-mode" is the same as the writing-mode of the
immediated containing area-container."
