Hello Geoff,
This is a limitation of XEP and it isn't likely to change in the
nearest time.
Best regards,

GL> I have a page with multiple columns: a block at the top of the page
GL> that spans all the columns, followed by other blocks which do not.
GL> Using XEP 4.3, the space-after of the first block (which spans all
GL> columns) and the space-before of the second (which does not) are both
GL> retained. Is this intentional? It was my understanding that the
GL> transition from span "all" to span "none" should generate a new
GL> reference area, and so discard the conditional spacing between the two
GL> areas.
GL> I will attach a simple XSL-FO file to illustrate...
GL> Thanks,
GL> Geoff
