Greetings, DSSSLers--

I'm just getting back into DSSSL after a long break, so it's entirely
possible I'm just misunderstanding what I need to do, but ...

Is this a bug?

Given:

	(element foo
		 (make paragraph
		       space-before: (display-space 16pt)
		       (process-children-trim)))


	16pt        becomes:        {16\p@}

Can anybody enlighten me? Pointers to relevant documentation would be
fine, if such exists.
