Subject: question about spacing around nested display flow object

Given this input:

  <para>Text2 outside any Block, followed by double blocksep</para>
  <Block>
    <Block>
      <para>Text in Block in Block</para>
    </Block>
  </Block>

and this DSSSL:

(element BLOCK
  (make display-group
    start-indent: 10pt
    space-before: 30pt
    space-after: 30pt
    (process-children)))

How do I proceed? how much space is there above and below 
"Text in Block in Block"? 30pt or 60pt? I am currently producing 60pt
in TeX, but James' RTF backend is producing 30pt. If he is right, why?

Making JadeTeX produce the right vertical spacing around display
objects is slightly less fun than licking a penny coin.

PS Who sent me this example? I have lost your name, whoever you
are.....sorry!
