"correct"?  It is *a* way of formatting a table cell, and the 
*default* way of formatting a table cell ... I wouldn't go so far as 
to say it is the *correct* way.  The poster needs it the way he needs 
it ... why would that be considered incorrect?

That is an interpretation, yes.  But he has his own reasons, and the 
designers of XSL-FO have provided the facilities for people to 
request effects that they need.

I'm commenting because I wouldn't want readers of the archives to 
construe from your comment that XSL-FO doesn't provide the facility 
the poster was requesting, when in fact they do provide the facility 
and it works in both Antenna House and XEP.

And it is not uncommon ... I've had students ask about doing this 
when the see the default behaviour of the line widths being discarded 
and not retained.

I hope this helps.
