Rendering empty fo:block objects

Are empty <fo:block/> objects ignored by fop0.20.5?  In the following
snippet of FO I inserted 6 empty blocks between two test strings
and they don't seem to get rendered.   I can easily use space-after
or insert newlines to get the desired rendering, but I was just 
curious if this by design or is this considered an unresolved issue in 
fop0.20.5?   Below is some sample fo:

<fo:block><fo:inline font-family="Courier" font-size="10pt">TEST STRING 1
</fo:inline><fo:block/><fo:block/><fo:block/><fo:block/><fo:block/><fo:block
/><fo:block/><fo:inline font-family="Courier" font-size="10pt">TEST STRING 2
</fo:inline></fo:block>

Thanks.

I think, as long as they are empty, they simply have a 0pt height.

Not that this is the best solution, how about setting the 
white-space-collapse to false (I'm running 0.20.3):

<fo:block white-space-collapse="false">
        <xsl:apply-templates select="custFax"/> 
</fo:block>
