The text in 7.24.15 is in error (even the names of the FOs it lists as applying to no longer exist...) and will be corrected. The property only applies to the region-before and region-after.

I have since discussed this with others, and I am quite certain that 7.24.15 is completely in error. Once it is dismissed, and only 6.4.14-17 are taken into account, then a much more consistent picture emerges. FOP happens to follow what is presumably the correct interpretation, and I believe other implementations do, too. I guess at the time of writing code everybody ignored the property description. :-) I wrote a chunk of that code myself, but I can't remember... Just as well. It would be useful to have a pronouncement on the property description, just so we know for sure that it's out to lunch. In any case, please ignore my diagram in the previous email - it is based on 7.24.15.
