Thanks for your effort to clean up BugZilla! Just to tell you, what I'm currently working on: - Last week I started to look into clipping. I realized it requires some rearranging of code in the PDF renderer. And understanding the spec in this regard is not that simple, either. - You've probably read my posts about padding on fo:block. Since there are some work-arounds (using fo:table), I don't think this needs to be fixed in the branch. - My biggest problem is lack of time. Don't know how to fix that one, yet. :-)
