Since display-group flob (12.6.2) is "formatted to produce the
concatenation of the areas produced by each of its children" , and
since space-before: and space-after: are objects "of type
display-space specifying space to be inserted before (after) ... the
areas produced by the flow object" - I read this that the nesting is
effectively flattened and the before/after spaces from the two display
groups are in fact adjacent.
