Seems sound to me ... as long as you are willing to accept errors in calculations. Remember that hyphenation may mess with your calculations. >BTW I run your FO on FOP 0.95 and I noticed some difference. I cannot comment on FOP. I trust the Antenna House interpretation of the specifications in all areas. If I need the flexibility offered by the differing values of the three components, it would not help me to have all three components always set to the same value as it appears from the PDF you attached that FOP is doing. I use either Antenna House or RenderX or Ibex in the classroom when I teach XSL-FO. . . . . . . . . . . .
