[Fwd: Inheritance from the layout-master-set]
-------- Original Message --------
Subject: Inheritance from the layout-master-set

The editors,
Could you please clarify for me the role of properties defined on
elements of the layout-master-set subtree in inheritance within
page-sequences. For example, numerous properties apply to
fo:simple-page-master and the various regions which are not exclusive to
the layout-master-set. These properties seem, in general, not to be
inherited, but to support the `inherit' keyword. When such properties
occur in an fo:flow with the `inherit' specifier, in the absence of any
specification in the line of descent from fo:root to the element in the
fo tree, but with a specified value on the relevant region-body, is the
computed value derived from the initial value or from the value
specified on fo:region-body?
When properties not directly applicable to the layout-master-set and its
children are specified on one of those children which later becomes
involved in the page generation for a flow, are those properties
inherited, of available for `inherit' specification, by children of the
flow?
When the from-nearest-specified-value function is invoked within a flow,
are the properties specified on the page master elements for the current
page also available to the function? "The value returned is that for the
closest ancestor of the formatting object for which the expression is
evaluated on which there is an assignment of the property in the XML
result tree in the fo namespace."
