-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Inheritance from the layout-master-set Date: Wed, 13 Feb 2002 16:10:52 +1000 From: "Peter B. West" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: xsl-editors <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 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."
