BLOCK-CONTAINER tag does not seem to work

           Summary: BLOCK-CONTAINER tag does not seem to work
           Product: Fop
           Version: 0.20.5
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: pdf renderer
        AssignedTo: fop-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: benoit.mezandemalartic@noos.com


BLOCK-CONTAINER basic porperties such as width, top, bottom, length are not 
taken into account. 
It just seems the BLOCK-CONTAINER tag is interpreted like the BLOCK tage.

With the following code ...

<fo:block-container
  absolute-position="absolute"
  top="15mm"
  left="100mm"
  width="70mm"
  height="5cm"
  font-size="12pt"
  font-family="sans-serif">
  <fo:block>
     This is a sample text
  </fo:block>
</fo:block-container>

.... I always get a top-left aligned block whatever the values of width, 
bottom, height & left are. The block is always resized to the size of the 
inside text.

Thanks in advance
