Hi Steve,

yes, there is a way. You have keep-together="always" on an ancestor
of the fo:inline element. keep-together is a shorthand which expands
to keep-together.{within-page,within-column,within-line}="always".
XEP, for historical compatibility reasons, regards keep-
together.within-line on fo:inline and similar elements only, that's
why when you wrap a fragment into fo:inline, it is kept together
within line.

A truly conforming formatter would keep your whole block on a single
line (which the next generation of XEP will do, by the way), even if
there is no fo:inline. To get the behavior you need, you should
specify keep-together.within-column instead of just keep-together.
