As you might guess I'm leaning towards 2 but 1 is what I would like to do, at least in the short term. So for people using flowText what do you think?

we are heavily relying on flowtext. Option 2 would mean no stress for us but i vote for option 1. Flowtext was just an extension and everybody who used it should have known that 1.2 was still not ready. So it is their own fault if they used it as if it would be a stable feature.
I would agree except for the loss of 'vertical-align', and even that I wouldn't worry much about except eventually the spec will clear this up and I think something along these lines will become available. So people who needed this would be stuck in the mean time.
Option 1 means a cleaner batik. That's imho more important ;).
Actually in doing #2 I refactored the code so all of the old (and new) text flow code is out of the core 'gvt' package. The new code now lives in a subpackage ('gvt.flow') and the old code now lives entirely in extensions/svg (where it can be deleted when flowRoot reaches the full capabilities of flowText). This turned out to be a fairly simple operation.
