RE: fo:folio-prefix (and other) content

Hi Anders and Editors:

(Sorry to be so slow responding).

I think the references that you propose will be helpful. There were two
related issues addressed in my original posts:

1. From whom do the children of an fo:folio-prefix inherit properties? Do
they inherit from the fo:folio-prefix and its parents in the tree, or from
the fo:page-number where they are used? The answer (as proposed) is to refer
to 6.6.10 and 6.10.7. I understand your answer to be that, when used within
an fo:page-number, fo:page-number-citation, or fo:page-number-citation-last,
the children of fo:folio-prefix inherit from fo:folio-prefix and its parents
in the fo tree, but that, when used within an fo:index-page-citation-list,
they would generally inherit from the fo:index-key-reference in which its
contents are used. If I have misinterpreted this, then some clarification is
needed. (Or perhaps I am overlooking something).

2. I don't think you have addressed the inconsistency between the content
models and the generated areas. If fo:folio-prefix can have descendants of
type %block;, then anything that uses it needs to be able to return more
than just one inline-area, right? If I am wrong about this, please
explicitly say so. It is my understanding that the following:
<fo:folio-prefix>
  abc
    <fo:inline>
      def
        <fo:block/>
      ghi
    </fo:inline>
  jkl
</fo:folio-prefix>
could not possibly be laid out within the confines of one inline-area. Now
admittedly, I can't think of a reason for someone to want to do this. But
that would just seem to argue for a restriction on %block; descendants of
fo:folio-prefix.
