RE : Q: from-nearest-specified-value()

Hi Andreas,

I think you are right, the current FO is not in its ancestors list.

Reading back REC 1.1/5.10.4, the default value for this function is the same property.
In this case, the nearest ancestor-or-self specified property does a circular ref,
but the nearest ancestor specified property should not.

In extension, that should be the same thing when the function is used with an argument.

HTH,
Pascal

	FWIW: the fix (if necessary) is very simple, see 
	o.a.fop.fo.PropertyList.java line 191. I think the iteration needs to 
	start with the parentPropertyList instead of 'this', but I'm not 100% 
	sure...

Thanks for the feedback. I'll commit the fix asap.
