block containers

Running Fop 0.20.3 we cannot get fo:Block-containers to work at all.

We are translating from XSLT with XML to PDF.
e.g.

Fop -xml test1.xml   -xsl test1.xsl   -pdf test1.pdf

Any ideas ??

thanks,

Kieran




XSLT
======

<xsl:template match="INSNAME">
<fo:block font="12pt Times" color="black" space-before="6pt" space-after
="9pt" >
      <fo:inline font-weight="bold">Insured name</fo:inline>
</fo:block>


<fo:block-container border-color="black" border-style="solid" border-width
=".5mm" height="0.5cm" width="2.49cm" top="7.0cm" left="6.0cm" padding
=".6mm" position="absolute">
         <fo:block text-align="start" space-after.optimum="3pt" line-height
="15pt" font-family="sans-serif" font-size="12pt"><xsl:value-of select
="."/></fo:block>
</fo:block-container>

You must not put block-container into another block. For FOP,
a block container musst be a child of either another
block-container (not recommended), a flow or a static-content.
