If so, I share your taste, however:

1. putting a property on a formatting object with no descendants that are
ever going to use it is not an error (although it would be nice if it
triggered a warning)

2. FOP is still alpha and I've been working on increasing functionality and
getting the underlying architecture right before comprehensive error
handling. Because FOP implements inheritance as "pull from ancestor" rather
than "push to descendant", it would take a fair bit of work to check for
unused definitions of property values.
