RE: text-indent/last-line-end-indent and nested block-level FOs

Hi,
	form a render engine point of view you get something like:
[Box
	[Box
		[line]
	]
	[line]
]

The first line is empty because the block generate a line but the next
element inside the flow is a block. So it's clear for the override that the
first line of the nested block must not be indented. Then it will apply the
indenting for the line inside the parent block.

I'm not sure I understand/aggree here. It's clear that the first area from
the outermost block is from the nested block, but is that area really flowed
into a line area? Aren't block-level areas from the children of a block fo
just put into the resulting block-level area of the parent blocks?
