Confusion about border-collapse
The border-collapse property is listed as having an initial value of
"collapse" in the spec, but the description refers to CSS, where the
default value is "separate". I also encountered a case where FOP
apparently acted as if the default value was "separate"; I need to
create a smaller test case before submitting a bug report. Has anyone
run across this behavior in 0.95?

Hi,
Yes, the FOP Compliance report refers to CSS specification for
'border-collapse' property. The FOP compliance report is saying
'collapse' as the default, but the CSS spec saying 'seperate'. As I have
checked through the FOP property list, the default again given as
'collapse'. see below from foproperties.xml
<property>
<name>border-collapse</name>
<inherited>true</inherited>
<datatype>Enum</datatype>
<default>collapse</default>
<enumeration>
<value const="SEPARATE">separate</value>
<value const="COLLAPSE">collapse</value>
</enumeration>
</property>
If you have a test case, that will definitely help here....

I did realize that border-collapse was inherited, but I just now figured out where the inherited value was coming from. I missed it somehow when I was looking earlier; FOP is working correctly. Nonetheless, maybe we should suggest to W3C's FO working group to make it clearer in border-collapse's description that the default value described in CSS is different and should be ignored.

FOP uses ‘collapse’ as the default value. Note that border-collapse is
an inherited property; So if you set it to ‘separate’ on an enclosing
table and leave it unspecified on an inner table, then it will be set to
the inherited ‘separate’ value.
If the output is still not what you would expect, please post a small FO
file showing the problem.
Thanks,
Vincent
