Hi Jeff,
The feature was turned off for FOP 1.0 as of 1.76.1 because it did not work as 
it should.  I last investigated this issue in July 2010:

http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook-apps/201007/msg00235.html

As described in that message, the issue was incorrect management of vertical 
space when using space-after.precendence="force".  If that property is now 
supported in FOP 1.0, then it should work. I don't have time to test this right 
now.   To turn it on for FOP 1, you will need to customize the template named 
"pi.dbfo-need" in fo/pi.xsl to remove the xsl:choose clause that excludes 
$fop1.extensions = 1.  I'll be curious to see what your results are.

  Subject: [docbook-apps] dbfo-need processing instruction and FOP 1.0



  Should I expect the dbfo-need processing instruction to work with DocBook 
1.76.1 NS stylesheets and FOP 1.0?

  I previously used dbfo-need and it worked (somewhat) with FOP 1.0 and DocBook 
1.73.2. Now it doesn't seem to work at all.
