[xsl] XSL-FO discarding space before

[Sandy McArthur <sandymac@xxxxxxx>]

I'm customizing the DocBook to xsl-fo stylesheets to look more like 
existing documentation that has existed for many years. I'm having 
trouble with too much white space being before a fo:block. It would 
simplify my customizations a lot if there is someway to nullify a 
space-before attribute in a child fo:block. I'm looking for something 
that is effectively this:

<fo:block space-inside="discard">
  <fo:block space-before="1em">
    FOO.
  </fo:block>
</fo:block>

I'm aware of space-before.conditionality="discard" but don't fully 
understand it. Any help would be appreciated.
