I've attached a simple PDF that shows that some of the current marker support is
OK. The XML and XSL that create this file are in CVS, under
docs/examples/markers. I chose values for "retrieve-boundary" and
"retrieve-position" (and a particular selection of FOs) that I know work
already, fairly well - please don't assume from this that markers are ready.
I think this example illustrates one of your requirements. The last one you
mention, I am not sure that XSL handles this, and you said so yourself.
By the way, note that the example also demonstrates the property problem that
Karen Lease and myself were talking about - the children of fo:marker currently
have the properties of their original FO parent, not of the parent of
fo:retrieve-marker. We hope to address this soon.
