page layout bug

[Mark Volkmann <ma...@ociweb.com>]

According to the W3C XSL-FO recommendation, region-before and region- 
after should extend horizontally all the way across the page. region- 
start and region-end should extend vertically, consuming whatever  
space remains after region-before and region-after claim their space.

FOP doesn't do this. In FOP, region-start and region-end extend  
vertically all the way down the page. region-before and region-end  
extend horizontally, consuming whatever space remains after region- 
start and region-end claim their space.

I'm seen some emails saying that this can be corrected by setting  
precedence attributes. However, I think what's in the recommendation  
should be the default behavior.

Is this considered a bug in FOP?
