Re: [xep-support] On XSL FO and reporting of unexpected behavior

Hi Eliot,

in this and the previous message, you describe behavior that seems to
you not corresponding to your expectations; and you declare it buggy.
However,

1) you don't provide complete XSL FO source examples that demonstrate
the bugginess of the behavior
2) your explanations are contradictory, contain typos (what is the
second block following the first float in the text below) and do not
provide enough detail to guess.

In particular, in the attached example, the floats behave exactly as
expected.

Subscribers of XEP-support mailing list, both users of XEP and RenderX
engineers, are ready to answer each other's questions. But in asking a
question, things acceptable from a user of XEP and XSL FO, trying to
master a technology new for them, are not from you as the
representative of a member of W3C in XSL Working Group.

In the future, please provide short examples illustrating behavior that
puzzles you so that we can explain what is happening.
