Re: fo:inline-sequence

[Stephen Deach <sdeach@xxxxxxxxx>]

You may put any inherited property on any node allowed within fo:flow or
fo:static-content (including on fo:inline-sequence). 

There is a line that states that the DTD does not reflect the allowed
places where you may specify (set) a property, only where the property is
actually used. (This has caused great confusion since most people do not
use a DTD in this manner. Therefore, we are looking at an alternate way to
describe where porperties are applied/used [vs. where they may be assigned
in the FO-tree].)

In the April draft, the field identifying which properties are inherited vs
non-inherited was not propagated to the final document. We plan to correct
this production problem in the next draft. -- For the CSS-derived
properties you can typically rely on the "inherited/not-inherited"
designation in the CSS-2 specification. This will identify which are
inherited and which are not for most of the font-related,
paragraph-layout-related, & rendering-related properties.

This e-mail reflects the opinion of the Editor of the XSL (formatting
   objects) Specification. This is my interpretation of the
   current (majority) opinion of the portion of the XSL-WG that
   is working on formatting objects. It may not reflect the opinions
   of all members of the XSL-WG or even of all members of the portion
   of the WG that is working on the formatting objects. It is subject
   to change.
