Right--which is my (admitedly small) complaint: why make me do:
<fo:block
border-width="1pt"
border-style="solid"
><fo:leader/></fo:block>
When I could do this:
<fo:block
border-width="1pt"
border-style="solid"
/>
Especially when I don't see anything in the spec that licenses the
suppression of blocks that have specified a visual effect.
It's a fine point and not worth coming to blows over. And an argument
could probably made that always having something in your blocks is good
practice. But this feels like a "Simon Says" behavior to me.
Cheers,
E.
