My last post was motivated by one thing - the statement that a block area "bubbles up". Well, it does not, not in the conceptual area tree described in the XSL spec. As a result I thought it worth our time to ask for some specificity when the area tree being referred to is not immediately obvious. I agree with your sentiments, particularly the last sentence. As such I think it is very important to establish exactly what area tree we are talking about in any given context. In theory there are at least 2 - the XSL 1.0 conceptual area tree, and the real "tree" (really, whatever structure we happen to use). There could be more.
