fo:inline Question

I see that <fo:inline> does not generate an area and hence cannot
perform area-related layout (borders, background-color, padding, etc.).
So, what is it good for? I've used it as follows:

  <fo:inline font-size="4pt">&nbsp;</fo:inline>

How else can it be used?

Space-start is specific to inline FOs. See

How come a space-before property works for blocks and a space-start property
do not work for blocks?

It should generate an area according to the spec, but the
current code just doesn't implement this.
